{"product_id":"2940014536981","title":"A Year of Encouragement","description":"A Year of Encouragement is a collection of \"Notes\"—thoughts and observations of ordinary people who take an extraordinary view of life—providing encouragement when life is difficult, a humorous look when we take ourselves too seriously, and serious reflection on what it means to \"love one another.\" Each first appeared as \"A Note of Encouragement,\" an email publication of Ciloa, a Christian ministry devoted to encouraging the Body of Christ. In these Notes, Chuck Graham and his fellow contributors bring, as one reader has noted, \"the ability to take the mundane with a touch of humor thrown in for good measure, and use it for a teachable moment, much as Jesus did when He used parables to get His point across.\" They will make you laugh. They will make you cry. And they will make you think of what it really means to follow Jesus in this world.","brand":"Xulon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47162431668464,"sku":"2940014536981","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014536981_p0.jpg?v=1763619630","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014536981","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
