Every word of every paragraph of every topic is addressed in this brief book. Jesus is drawing the watching world to unparalleled teachable moments about how to be salt and light citizens in the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.\u003cbr\u003e Johnny White contends that life is hard enough already. Jesus did not come to make things harder than they already are by limiting salvation to only the FEW, but he upheld impossible possibilities that point to the undeniable grace of God for the MANY. Jesus pointed to a life more abundant than retribution and revenge and violence. He pointed to a Third Way of mercy, forgiveness, and grace that refuses violence, yet never fails to confront evil. A life such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer sought to live.\u003cbr\u003e What could be more apropos for a contentious uncivil time such as this? No matter what happens next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3525457\"\u003eJohnny White\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e WestBow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781664228320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1664228322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL006050\"\u003eBiblical Commentary | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohnny White is a Christian minister and follower of Jesus. A lifelong student of the Bible, he believes that all truth is God's Truth, there is objective Truth in scripture, but truth must be personally experienced. Therefore, both objective Truth and subjective truth are essential. He has academic credentials, but those are less important to him than life lessons about the necessity of a Loving God. He knows that he does not know what he does not know! Johnny is less concerned about unproveable doctrines of orthodoxy than about the undeniable ramifications of the Gospel. He believes the world would be a better place if redeeming grace, forgiveness with mercy, and reconciled relationships replaced the competitive necessity of winning, replaced revenge and retaliation, and replaced violence as a means to peace. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e He is most grateful for his spouse and helpmate of fifty years, Patricia Robertson White, along with his family, children, grandchildren, and friends.","brand":"WestBow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711243784429,"sku":"9781664228320","price":25.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_a52832c0-0589-4189-bce4-44efd8b6eaed.jpg?v=1650157772","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/hard-enough-already-following-jesus-in-the-21st-century-teachable-moments-from-the-worlds-most-famous-sermon-9781664228320","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
