Күн бұрын

In which I share my thoughts about the books I finished this week, which are two Christian non-fiction reads that prompted a lot of thoughts about what the Christian life looks like, what makes it successful, and how the gospel fits into it.

Amen! Relationship and faith over works. The works come from the fruits of the spirit we have through that Relationship with Christ 🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️❤️ Preach Anne!

Yes! My greatest fear is that I don't adequately communicate that to my children (because honestly, I don't feel like my parents adequately communicated it to me), so that little book 0/100 is opening up good conversations about that. And I'm relieved that it doesn't seem to be shocking new information to them. 😂

Great wrap up! I want to read Jill's book too. We almost got wrapped up in the Goddard stuff. He came to our area and did a conference type thing. He definitely had some good points (like re: TV and music that i remember specifically) but I'm glad my husband was like Nope.

@insearchofwonder Ай бұрын

Yeah, he had some good points. There was truth mixed in with all of the mess, which makes it really hard to "disentangle".

Always love your weekly recaps!! I really, really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on Becoming Free Indeed!! And agree with all you said when discussing "This Changes Everything" and "0/100" though I haven't read them lol.

@@insearchofwonder I haven't but I've listened to some podcasts that Jinger was a guest on so I'm assuming some of the info / conversations she had are presented in the book.
