Description
Do you wonder if there is more to life than just going through the daily motions and routines? Do you long for a life that is deeper, more fulfilling, more meaningful? What if you discovered letters that promise to bless you if you read them? What if you found writings that reveal the way to your most abundant life? Would you take the time to read and to study them? Lessons from the Letters: Living the Abundant Life invites the reader to explore ways to live a godly, spirit-filled life using principles outlined in the letters of Christ written to the churches of Revelation. This hope-inspired book combines modern anecdotal stories with Biblical truths to help the reader to find the message alive and relevant. The book inspires readers to examine their daily routine, their beliefs and value systems, and the tasks of life using precepts presented in these letters to seven churches found in the second and third chapters of the book of Revelation in the Bible. Jesus Christ wrote these letters, through the pen of the apostle John, to actual congregations located in Asia Minor, an area on the western edge of modern-day Turkey. Although penned centuries ago, the words of advice and counsel in the letters prove to be as relevant to readers today as they were to the believers in the first century. Lessons from the Letters: Living the Abundant Life takes the reader on a journey to explore these ancient cities to comprehend and capture the true meaning of the passages. This cultural knowledge gives greater depth and meaning to the words and illustrations. The book employs thought-provoking modern stories to engage the reader further to comprehend and apply the Biblical principles to their lives.
