![]() ![]() ![]() Overall, a very relevant, honest read that addresses the stumbling blocks in our Christian culture, and encourages believers to strive toward the prize, with a right knowledge and understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ living it out in our daily lives, and encouraging others to do likewise. Inserra uses many good examples, often drawing from his own personal life to show the importance of not growing lax in our witness because someone is a good person or identifies with a few of Jesus's teachings. He also talks about how to initiate deeper conversations on faith with cultural Christians, as well the importance of the great commission to continue to pray and witness to others, even if they state that they are already Christians. As it is easy to be the Pharisee at times, seeing our friends and family as unworthy tax collectors. Inserra calls us not just to look at the splinter in another's eye, but to also examine ourselves for traces of cheap grace. ![]() Incredibly relevant, this book addresses cultural Christianity directly discussing barriers within the church that prove a challenge to a personal saving relationship, recognition of our sin and God's holiness in today's culture. ![]() Dean Inserra draws from his own personal experiences as he discusses in this reader friendly and concise book the difference between knowing God, and knowing about God. How do you reach someone who doesn't know Jesus, if they say that they are already a Christian? ![]()

Just when things start looking up (and Phoebe and Luke start hooking up), drama looms on the horizon. ![]() In fact, being on a soccer team is the only thing that stays the same. Luke didn't set out to redefine himself, but as soon as he arrives on campus, he finds himself dumping his long-term long-distance girlfriend. Convenient: the only person from her high school also going to York is her longtime crush, Luke. And she'll be totally different: cooler, prettier, smarter. On her own, discovering new things, no curfew. A laugh-out-loud, realistic portrayal of a freshman year in college for fans of Emergency Contact, Broad City, and The Bold Type. ![]() 5/31/2023 0 Comments Rhys bowen royal spyness![]() ![]() George is known for his many affairs with women as well as men - including the great songwriter Noel Coward. My duties are simple: help Marina acclimate to English life, show her the best of London and, above all, dispel any rumours about George's libertine history. The King's youngest son, George, is to wed Princess Marina of Greece, and I shall be her companion at the supposedly haunted Kensington Palace. I am therefore relieved to receive a new assignment from the Queen - especially one that includes lodging. While my beau Darcy is off on a mysterious mission, I am once again caught between my high birth and empty purse. And sometimes making ends meet requires her to investigate a little royal wrongdoing. Lady Georgiana Rannoch won't deny that being thirty-fifth in line for the British throne has its advantages. ![]() |
