{"product_id":"2940014755382","title":"The Green Cord Dream","description":"In 1842, fifteen-year-old Ellen Harmon had a dream. “[The angel] handed me a green cord coiled up closely. This he directed me to place next to my heart, and when I wished to see Jesus, take it from my bosom, and stretch it to the utmost. He cautioned me not to let it remain coiled for any length of time, lest it should become knotted and difficult to straighten.  I placed the cord near my heart, and joyfully descended the narrow stairs, praising the Lord, and telling all whom I met where they could find Jesus.”\u003cbr\u003eIn The Green Cord Dream author Alex Bryan asks,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Is there a purpose and possibility for Adventist Christianity in the twenty-first century?\u003cbr\u003e    Will we desire the Bible again as a way to fall in love with Jesus?\u003cbr\u003e    Will Jesus be everything in Adventism?\u003cbr\u003e    Will we live for heaven alone?\u003cbr\u003e    Will we get lost in minor theological disputes and church spats?\u003cbr\u003e    Or will we live within the grand story of The Great Controversy?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI believe the Adventist movement can have a bright, prevailing future, but we are at a critical time.  The challenges are significant. We must choose a vision of Adventist Christianity for the future.  We need bold and beautiful dreams emerging from every generation and locality.  We need Green Cord Dreams.  We need the The One. We need Jesus.","brand":"Pacific Press Publishing Association","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070794776816,"sku":"2940014755382","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014755382_p0.jpg?v=1763949954","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014755382","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
