{"product_id":"2940149179435","title":"Unless One is Born Anew","description":"First of all, if there is any question of a need for revitalizing the Society of Friends, it must be true that there is something wrong with us – some symptoms of decline. In preparing my thinking for this occasion, I have inquired of some trusted Friends what these symptoms might be, as they see them. I shall just mention three, and please don’t be angry but hear me out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first symptom, I’m told, is that we sit well clothed, well fed, and well educated, in our Meetings for Worship, worshipping a God who has been good to us. We are reputable and extravagantly praised for victories bequeathed to us by our disreputable ancestors. We are sorely tempted now to compare ourselves with other perhaps less vital religious groups, instead of with what is God’s will for us. We need to be reminded again that when Peter was asked by his Lord to do certain specific things, he asked, “What is it your will that he should do?” pointing to another man. Christ answered him, “What is that to thee? Follow thou Me.” \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pendle Hill Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111844692208,"sku":"2940149179435","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149179435_p0.jpg?v=1763713558","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149179435","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
