{"product_id":"2940016544809","title":"The Abuse of the Bride","description":"The abundance of our hearts eventually comes to the surface\u003cbr\u003eand suddenly everyone knows what you are thinking, it can\u003cbr\u003ealso reveal where you have been and what lessons you have\u003cbr\u003elearned on that journey.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Abuse of the bride is exactly that. It goes back to my early\u003cbr\u003edays in the Lord and gathers a wealth of experiences lived out in a period of\u003cbr\u003eforty years. I as Peter and John in their response to the council can’t help but\u003cbr\u003espeak the things that I have seen and heard.\u003cbr\u003eLiving in the north east of the United States for most of my life, it’s not\u003cbr\u003euncommon to witness a fight where someone is being badly beaten and no one\u003cbr\u003esteps in to help, we call it minding our business. Fortunately what is permissive\u003cbr\u003ein the world could be seen as the sin of silence in the Church.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMy sole motivation for writing this book is to shed light on some infractions\u003cbr\u003ethat I have witnessed over the years, their repetitiveness and increscent presence\u003cbr\u003ein the Church sets off an alarm in my soul because many have accepted these\u003cbr\u003eabusive measures as the norm and the voices that should cry out in defense of\u003cbr\u003ethe bride have gone dim and silent.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhether you agree or disagree with me once you see what I am thinking,\u003cbr\u003eI hope I can steer you into discovering a more excellent way of serving the\u003cbr\u003eChurch, the bride of our Lord Jesus Christ.","brand":"Xulon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47066821034224,"sku":"2940016544809","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016544809_p0.jpg?v=1763637566","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016544809","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
