God is Sovereign
Hi Joshua,
I hope you're support team gets this to you. In the midst of our plans,
schedules and deadlines God remains God. He is sovereign. While I'm sure
that this book is of God, I'm also sure that his desires extend beyond
finishing the book on time. Everything in life is a process and a lot of
times God is more interested in the process (how we respond to the highs and
lows) on the journey towards our destination than the destination itself.
So be encouraged and learn all the lessons there are to be learnt along the
way. While meeting deadlines are important, this isn't a class assignment.
Jesus said he would build his church 2000 years ago and we're still here and
he's still building. It takes time to reach perfection. So let patience
have its perfect work, so that you, the book, the church will be perfect
lacking nothing. Sister in Christ, Rhonda
I add my hearty "Amen!" Thanks, Rhonda. I appreciate the reminder.

Church?
"I am reading Joshua Harris book Stop Dating the Church...love it. He talks about the people who believe they can be Christians and never go to church. I have heard this argument many times. They don't believe you have to fellowship..." (Read full post here.)
Jargon Meets Advice
"Boy Meets Girl: I read part of this back when I bought it 7-ish years ago. If you get past the jargon-y parts it has some solid advice." (Read full post here.)
A Brief Review
"I think this book [Sex is Not the Problem (Lust Is)] would appeal to both teenagers and parents, although I would give the parents the book first to read. This is not explicit in its language but it does tackle the difficult questions." (Read full post here.)
