{"product_id":"2940150650589","title":"The Greater Reality","description":"The author grew up in a Parsonage, the son of a dedicated, evangelical, conservative minister described as ‘a man who tried very hard to please God.” He believed that fathers were duty bound to make sure their children did not get misled while they still living at home.\u003cbr\u003e    Of great importance, they not get tainted by exposure to Hollywood. Since TV was not a part of our life, I never saw action on a screen until 1951. That year the award winning movie ‘Quo Vadis’ was produced:Three more movies with similar themes, ‘The Robe,’ ‘Demetrius and the Gladiators,’ and ‘The Silver Chalice.’ were produced in 1953 and 1954. \u003cbr\u003eMy father thought these might benefit his son.\u003cbr\u003eI was privileged to see them several times. And, they made a great impact on me. The scenes of Christians being martyred in the arena were of special interest. \u003cbr\u003e    I asked myself, would I be able to stand without fear? Could I face death in a positive and victorious way? \u003cbr\u003eOne thing I was very sure about. If you could face death, either by yourself or with loved ones, positive and singing while you died, there was something very real that sustained you. And, I knew it was something far deeper than the explanation of a ‘spell.’\u003cbr\u003eThrough my years of ordained ministry and a lifetime of serving the church, I have witnessed people living out hard experiences. I have witnessed people who were caught in a reality that you could not miss. But there was obviously a greater reality carrying them over the reality we were witnessing. \u003cbr\u003eThis book is the stories of some of those people I met along the way. People who accepted, understood, and lived in victory because they trusted Scriptures of promise.\u003cbr\u003e    They lived a ‘Greater Reality.’\u003cbr\u003eAlso included is how to find it.","brand":"Xulon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112743682288,"sku":"2940150650589","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150650589_p0.jpg?v=1763750726","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150650589","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
