I found your blog from your review of Real Life D...<br />I found your blog from your review of Real Life Discipleship. I have recently written a similar book about discipleship. I was wondering if its possible for me to provide you with a copy of my book in hopes that you would consider reviewing it?<br /><br />My name is Robby Gallaty and the title of my book is: Growing Up: How to Be a Disciple Who Makes Disciples. After surrendering my life to Christ in 2002, I was presented with the opportunity to be discipled by David Platt, New York Times best selling author of Radical and Follow Me. He describes our time together in the Foreword of the book. Here’s an excerpt: <br /><br />So what do you do when a 6’6” 290-pound thieving drug-dealing pill addict trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is standing next to you on a Sunday morning in a church gathering? My thought is that you become that guy’s friend as soon as possible! So one Sunday, years ago, I had the God-ordained, God-orchestrated privilege of meeting Robby Gallaty.<br />Simply put, the Lord’s hand on this brother was evident from the moment I met him. Robby had just become a follower of Christ, and his zeal for Christ was not just clear; it was contagious. Before long, I had the privilege of baptizing him, which is quite a story in and of itself (just imagine this 6’6” 290-pound man slipping on his way down into the baptistery and falling straight toward you, causing water to splash over onto the choir like a wave pool out of control). Every week, Robby and I would meet for Chinese food over lunch. We would walk together through God’s Word and pray together for one another. I can still remember sitting over General Tso’s chicken watching Robby write down every single truth I shared with him on the napkins at Mr. Wang’s. Then he would take that truth and not only apply it in his life, but also teach it in others’ lives. I visibly watched this brother soak in the gospel as he spread the gospel on a weekly basis.<br />You can learn more about my book at http://growingupbook.com or visit Amazon: http://amzn.to/18N4PPO. Many people have graciously endorsed the book already: Kay Arthur, Robert Coleman, Jerry Vines, Eric Geiger, Ed Stetzer, Tim Brister, John Ankerberg, J.D. Greear, Bill Hull, Greg Ogden, Johnny Hunt, Larry Osborne, Derwin Gray, Chris Adsit, Russell Moore, Danny Akin, Sam Rainer, Bobby Harrington, Tony Merida, and Clayton King. <br />I can provide it to you as a digital file immediately. If you would like a paperback copy after reading it, I will be happy to mail you one as soon as I receive the printed copies. <br /><br />Of course, I understand that you are under zero obligation to review my book, and if you do review it, you can leave a good or a bad review. I am simply asking for you to prayerfully consider it. Thank you in advance. I look forward to your response.<br /><br />Many Blessings, <br />Robby Gallaty<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772150543665350853.post-31076520980027138402013-06-14T14:54:54.852-04:002013-06-14T14:54:54.852-04:00Thanks for taking the time to review the book.

I have really hoped from the beginning that this set of cards would serve as a tool to equip Christians to know more about the positive and negative aspects of church history amd theology. Afterall, knowing both the high and low points of church history and theology allows us to identify those same things in our present day.<br /><br />As a father blessed with three beautiful children of my own, I can only pray that God will use this tool to strengthen and equip other families!<br /><br />Thank you so much Mrs. Hankins! <br /><br />Respectfully,<br /> Norman Jeune IIINorman Jeune IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722346793608425114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772150543665350853.post-71606212470970580552012-10-16T00:46:25.079-04:002012-10-16T00:46:25.079-04:00Elizabeth,

God has given him much grace and he just has to speak of it.<br />That being said, we need to keep Max and all our Bible preaching pastors in our prayers. There is so much temptation to gloss over the truth, and so many atheists who would love to see a pastor fall from grace. In these last days, it is more important than ever to lift up our pastors before the throne. We need to pray that their words will remain true to The Word. <br />Blessings!<br />Alycia<br />Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663426689159854211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772150543665350853.post-58695461208892909902012-10-13T15:55:01.040-04:002012-10-13T15:55:01.040-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663426689159854211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772150543665350853.post-2136396289388989652012-10-13T13:58:01.681-04:002012-10-13T13:58:01.681-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663426689159854211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772150543665350853.post-59144632681731167052012-10-13T13:30:52.556-04:002012-10-13T13:30:52.556-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663426689159854211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772150543665350853.post-47688645570669305942012-10-13T01:23:52.579-04:002012-10-13T01:23:52.579-04:00an excerpt from Max Lucado’s book Traveling Light:...an excerpt from Max Lucado’s book Traveling Light:<br /><br />What of those who die with no faith? My husband never prayed. My grandpa never worshiped. My mother never opened a Bible, much less her heart. What about the one who never believed?<br /><br />How do we know he didn’t?<br /><br />Who among us is privy to a person’s final thoughts? Who among us knows what transpires in those final moments? Are you sure no prayer was offered? Eternity can bend the proudest knees. Could a person stare into the yawning canyon of death without whispering a plea for mercy? And could our God, who is partial to the humble, resist it?<br /><br />He couldn’t on Calvary. The confession of the thief on the cross was both a first and final one. But Christ heard it. Christ received it. Maybe you never heard your loved one confess Christ, but who’s to say Christ didn’t?<br /><br />We don’t know the thoughts of a dying soul, but we know this. We know our God is a good God. He is “not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 NKJV<br /><br />He wants your loved one in heaven more than you do. And he usually gets what he wants.<br />--Excerpted from Max Lucado's Traveling Light<br /><br />Throughout Lucado’s book, Cure for the Common Life, he quotes other mystics and contemplatives: Saint Thomas Aquinas,Thomas Merton, Eugene Peterson and Richard Foster.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772150543665350853.post-13825033558021550302012-10-12T22:28:18.150-04:002012-10-12T22:28:18.150-04:00Thank you for taking the time to write an honest r...Thank you for taking the time to write an honest review!
