{"product_id":"courage-to-surrender-a-journey-to-meaning-and-hope","title":"Courage to Surrender: A Journey to Meaning and Hope","description":"Courage to Surrender is an engaging story of hope that will captivate anyone interested in finding a compassionate community of Jesus's disciples. It is a story of how nine American teenagers from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, came to discover how to be the church; not the church of twentieth century in America, but a hopeful future-resurrected church for the twenty-first century. It is a church fellowship where people love one another with the extravagant love and grace of God, one in which a love for those in need flows out of their relationships with one another. It is a story of transformation, not only of individuals, but of a diverse fellowship of believers. In it you will find pain and healing, questions and answers, struggles, masks removed, radically change lives, some humor, and a lot of hope. It is written for young adults seeking meaning and purpose in life and for mature Christians frustrated with the fragmentation of the church and its preoccupation with rules, programs, buildings, and control. Nearly every chapter has its surprises. On first reading, it is simply a fascinating tale but on another level, it addresses the disparities in the world and the search for significance within us all. Readers will be encouraged and challenged.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1462411754\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1462411754.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Steffey, George S.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
