A wonderful book for kids and grown ups which explains the meaning of the cross with simple language and expressive pictures. We love it and read it every year around Easter!

My uncle gave me a copy of this book last Easter and this morning called to check up on my progress with it. Known as one of the biggest readers in the family, I promised to actually read it before this Easter so I can return it to him. Admittedly, this isn‘t the sort of book I would pick up on my own, but I love my family and am interested to discuss this at the end of the month and see what are the points that have stuck with him the most.

#TeamCryptKeepers There are still a few team members I have not heard from yet, so this is just a reminder that tomorrow is the deadline. So I can send the total to the hosts of this great event. Thank you, my prettys. @TheBookHippie @JenReadsAlot @BarkingMadRead @kezzlou85 @Marmie7 @Rissa1 @aperfectmjk @Bookishgal71 @Nazgul93 @BookingitwithSandra @kay.the.bibliophile

3✨ Everyone should have the opportunity to learn and grow in Christ. The author provides personal experiences as a homosexual woman and her transition not necessarily to becoming “strait”, but to getting closer to the Lord and find His will for her. She has resources for same sex Christian‘s as well. No matter what your beliefs I think the authors statements are a good middle ground.

I had heard this book referenced in a sermon and then also saw it positively reviewed here, so I decided to give it a listen. It was a wonderfully written interpretation of the Biblical story of the prodigal son, explaining the faults of both sons. The message resonated with me, and I loved all the literary references as well. I‘ll need to research more books by this author.

I used to listen to Tim Keller‘s sermons on the regular—he was thoughtful, insightful, and scholarly, and drew from a wide range of sources, from Christian thinkers like C.S. Lewis to contemporary novels & films. But this is the first of his books I‘ve read—I was prompted to pick it up because of his recent passing. I loved the first few sections—drawing from the parable of the Prodigal Son, Keller redefines the concepts of sin and “lostness.” ⤵️

#20in4 Sunday update. Hanging-out-with-my-Mom break, but I‘m hoping to get a bit more reading in before bed later.
