{"product_id":"9780692586815","title":"Rocky Road Devotions: Because Vanilla Isn't Enough!","description":"This book is a collection of devotionals written mostly early in the morning. As such, there is a page or two out of order, incorrectly-numbered or not particularly well-thought out. I have purposely left them that way because life at 5am is not particularly well-ordered or organized, and this is my devotional life, un-edited! \u003cbr\u003eThese reflections began because my devotional life was disorganized and sporadic. In May I began to write these daily for those who receive the Pastor's Points weekly sermons. I selfishly thought that if I made myself accountable to that group, it would somehow force me to be more committed to the kind of discipleship I preach about (you know where I'm heading with this).\u003cbr\u003eI was wrong.\u003cbr\u003eThis devotional writing didn't \"force\" anything on me. While it could have made just another obligation on the calendar, instead, I found myself more drawn than ever to the beauty of God's Word, and the efficacy of how that Word will grow in me as I grow closer to God. In other words, as I attempted to be Pastoral towards those who find reading these devotions helpful, I have been helped immeasurably. How about that? I was trying to be an obedient Pastor, and wound up getting the biggest blessing!","brand":"Parsons Porch Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027526435056,"sku":"9780692586815","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692586815_p0.jpg?v=1763621214","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692586815","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
