We are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I had the great privilege of sitting in a small group with David’s Dad, Gary, just last month. I can easily the see that the passion apple does not fall far from the tree in this family.
I have always been interested in this topic and read the book soon after it released. I enjoyed it then but hearing David deliver the valuable information about what it will take for this generation to influence then next generation for Christ was nothing less than captivating.
I think it is called “Camden Yards”—Home of the Baltimore Orioles
I have had a few discussions with some young Christian Authors and Speakers over the past few months about this very topic as I have made some surprising observations about the response of young women to my speaking engagements over the past 2 years. I had felt that they were drawn to me for some reasons that I have been mystified by. David spoke some words yesterday that I have actually spoken myself as I have mentally chewed on this topic.
Just got this book for my birthday! I am very intrigued by the subject matter and look forward to delving in.
Oh, and as for the "pray, pray, pray" part? Know that I'm doing that, harder and more fervently than you know. I'll be in touch.

I LOVE this book. It literally jumped off the bookshelf at me in Books A Million. Every Christian should read it to gain a better understanding of how we are perceived by the unchurched. It's pretty eye-opening and more than a little uncomfortable. Ouch is right!! The good news is we can do something about changing those perceptions if we want to. Great post!!
