Great Book, Great Price! Max Lucado's "He Chose the Nails."

Currently reading Max Lucado's "He Chose the Nails." I’ll be adding a “book review” once I’m done. And of course, if you've read this book, I'd love to hear your feedback on this book as well!

The wood. The thorns. The nails. Christ's sacrifice has defined the very essence of mankind's faith for the past 2000 years. And now, Max Lucado invites you to examine the cross, contemplate its purpose, and celebrate its significance with He Chose the Nails. With his warm, caring style, Max examines the symbols surrounding Christ's crucifixion, revealing the claims of the cross and asserting that if they are true, then Christianity itself is true. The supporting evidence either makes the cross the single biggest hoax of all time, or the hope of all humanity. More than a book, the campaign includes the first stand-alone workbook, leaders guide, and video package from Max, as well as a praise & worship CD from Here to Him music featuring several of today's favorite Christian artists.

Quote to Ponder

"For those who expect everything, there are many curses.
For those who appreciate everything, there are many blessings."
- James Clear

There is a lot of truth in this quote. Our true attitudes determine our perspectives. If you are not content, or struggle to find the blessings of life, re-examine your initial attitudes. books quotes ideas to inspire! Check out our farrago of ideas!

An Article to Read: “Proclaiming the Gospel to a Secular Society.”

Here’s and excerpt: “Paul could not simply be a sightseer when there was such spiritual need. He was in Athens as a soul-winner. The Great Commission is to proclaim the gospel to non-Christians who are listening and the paganism of the Athenian people led Paul to devise a strategy to proclaim the gospel to all, whether they were in a place of worship or not. We fail if we abandon the streets of our towns and cities to the cults.”  books quotes ideas to inspire! Check out our farrago of ideas!
