{"product_id":"9781624880025","title":"A Gathered Inheritance: Devotions for Thoughtful Christians","description":"Here is a guide to devotions for each week of the year. The priests of\u003cbr\u003eold tended the fire in the tent of meeting, where the people offered their gifts\u003cbr\u003eand rededicated themselves to God. Because of Christ's sacrifice on the cross,\u003cbr\u003ewe no longer worship with burnt offerings. Yet we must tend and preserve the\u003cbr\u003espiritual fires.\u003cbr\u003eBrother Lawrence, Martin Luther, and many others have fanned the\u003cbr\u003eflames. Jesus Christ is still the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Yet we must stir\u003cbr\u003ethe fire to understand this Truth better as we build on the illumination of\u003cbr\u003eprevious generations.\u003cbr\u003eAs the world changes, we apply God's Word to new challenges so that all\u003cbr\u003emight know Christ as Savior and Lord. Since the Holy Spirit encourages and\u003cbr\u003einspires us, we will not run out of fuel for our task.\u003cbr\u003eOur faithful forebears moved beyond fear and rejection of their world\u003cbr\u003eand embraced the love of God. Out of that love flowed their genius. Church\u003cbr\u003efathers and mothers such as Origen, Bonhoeffer, McDonald, and Mother\u003cbr\u003eTeresa have promoted love for God, God's people, and all of God's\u003cbr\u003ecreation—at some risk, yet always in hope, building on God's promises.\u003cbr\u003eGod's saints are flashes of lightning in the sky. The darkness is never the\u003cbr\u003esame again because their light reveals what life can be in Jesus Christ. On\u003cbr\u003ethese pages Ignatius, Nee, Tolstoy, Guyon flash across the sky. This gathered\u003cbr\u003einheritance brings memory, possibility, renewal.","brand":"BookBaby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169161887984,"sku":"9781624880025","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781624880025_p0.jpg?v=1763864425","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781624880025","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
