{"product_id":"2940013218499","title":"Praising God with MORE than Raised Hands and Rousing Hallelujahs","description":"As both a long-time Christian and a long-time Sunday school teacher and Bible study leader, I have been an observer of believers. And one of the traits I have often seen as needing upgrading is our praise to God. Too many believers think raised hands and rousing hallelujahs are the primary praise God expects. Since He made us in His image we should be clued-in to the fact that that praise alone, while acceptable and welcomed by God, is insufficient praise! God expects more. He made us capable of delivering more. He made us with the capacity to praise Him with the living of our lives both within the church walls and, more especially, outside those walls. Among His expectations of our praise, I believe, is: gratitude to Him; dependence upon Him; obedience before Him; revealing the value placed in us by Him; forgiveness of others and us by Him and by us;stewardship for Him according to the ability He has given us; worshiping Him with (among other attributes) silence, singing, and submission; and--perhaps the most difficult and the most effective praise of all--church unity.","brand":"Melba Freeman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145553330416,"sku":"2940013218499","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013218499_p0.jpg?v=1763578508","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013218499","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
