Thankful for the Bible!

Book Title:  Luther and Katharina
Author:  Jody Hedlund

Jody is a very good writer, I was captivated by the book and just kept reading.  It was neat to ponder and consider what life may have been like long ago when Luther first began his reformation work in regard to the church and the cost that was paid by many for the cause of Christ and the Bible.  I cannot imagine both how wonderful it was for those first learning of the Bible and what God's word teaches versus what the priests were teaching, but then also scary as it was not knowing what repercussions there might be for following what the Bible says.  I am so thankful for the Bible and the privilege to read it and study it without such persecution.

Perspective - A Part of the Race

Going through this devotional and the answering the questions asked was challenging, encouraging and pushed me to continue to pursue serving Christ in a greater way.  It is easier sometimes to let go of something amazing when it becomes hard to continue giving effort, but this book encouraged me to continue looking at the bigger picture of how we spend our time here on earth - something that is so important to me!
