Be very careful "where" you go for spiritual advice...just because an individual has sold millions of books does not mean he is careful with scriptural analysis. I received an advanced copy of John Bevere's Relentless and was hopeful that it would contain information that would be beneficial to the Kingdom of God. I was disappointed.

Be a Berean--search the Scriptures to see if what John is saying is true... While it might break decorum to promote another book as an introduction to a book review, if you're serious about Bible study...you might want to check out How to Read the Bible for All It's Worth by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart. Happy Wednesday and as always, comments welcome. -Steve Relentless: The Power You Need to Never Give Up [Hardcover] by John Bevere $19.99 ...

Happy Friday! -Steve Available at Amazon.com Steeple Envy: Losing My Religion and Rediscovering Jesus [Softcover] by Victor Cuccia re:Think Publishing Company 172 pages, $8.99 ISBN-13: 978-0615509921 Nonfiction Review by Steven King, MBA, MEd How long has it been since you have had to look for a new church home? No doubt many Christians are probably very comfortable in their current routine: go to church, sit in the same area every Sunday, sing three songs, and listen to a 24.5 minute sermon. It is comfortable, routine, and feels good. For that week, you can check the box labeled, “I went to church.” Maybe even use your smart phone to ...
