![]() When we go to church and listen to the sermon, what we want to hear is his Word – and that not merely for selfish reasons, but for the sake of the many for whom the Church and her message are foreign. What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us to-day? How can he help us to be good Christians in the modern world? In the last resort, what we want to know is not, what would this or that man, or this or that Church, have of us, but what Jesus Christ himself wants of us. Behind all the slogans and catchwords of ecclesiastical controversy, necessary though they are, there arises a more determined quest for him who is the sole object of it all, for Jesus Christ himself. ![]() ![]() Revival of church life always brings in its train a richer understanding of the Scriptures. ![]() 6/30/2023 0 Comments The hacienda book isabel![]() ![]() This is the rare book that really works for a lot of people even if you are not a fan of horror or ghost stories. ![]() This is much more than just a ghost story or a horror story-it had a lot of topics that I think would also work for book clubs. I loved how rich it was with folklore, religion, and socioeconomics of the time period. I can say with absolute conviction that this book was absolutely worth all the hype. This book has been on many many top recommended lists and also was featured on Book of the Month. ![]() Personally I liked the Audible version better but reading it was just as exciting. And let me just tell you that was so hard! I loved the book so much, that I also downloaded the Audible version so I could compare how reading the story was different from listening to it. I wanted to bust into this book the second it came in the mail, but I held off until it was a little closer to the release day. I would also recommend it to anyone who loves Simone St James-if you love her ghost stories, you will love this book! The second I read the description, I KNEW this book would be right up my alley! It’s been described as a cross between Rebecca and Mexican Gothic, both of which I loved for different reasons and I think this is absolutely an accurate description of the story. THIS BOOK! This book was at the top of my TBR list for months. ![]() |
