Book Of The Month For August 2016: The Christian Life: Cross or Glory?
The Christian Life: Cross or Glory?
By Steven A. Hein
2015/Paperback/196 pages
Overview:
This book offers a radically different perspective from that of many best-selling authors concerning how the Christian should measure and evaluate travel along God’s path of righteousness. It will endeavor to persuade the reader that by feeding regularly on the Gospel in the Preached Word and The Supper, God promises to have His way with the Christian and He alone will accomplish all that is needed for life in Him to be complete. He is not waiting or requiring you to do anything first (during or after) to provide you with every blessing of the Gospel.
