Bobby Weaver has written the book we’ve all imagined — because we’ve all seen it in action: the church goer who decides she’s the gatekeeper; the pew sitter who glares if you accidentally slip into his spot before he’s had a chance to plop there; the name callers and finger pointers and other pious souls who must make the Lord cringe. And because we’ve seen these things, and because at some moment in time we might even have added our name to one list or another, we need to laugh with Bobby and then remind ourselves just how important a role we play in the lives of those watching.
I was once one of the watchers, and the case did not look good for Christ…until He Himself showed up and showed off. Until He forced me to look past other fragile humans who make up the church so that I could see Him instead.
If you have felt the hurt of rejection from those who ought to know better or have watched and wondered what kind of God could willingly call the Church His, then I suggest you read Bobby Weaver’s book. And then look past the folk who hurt you and talk to the One in charge.
Normandie…thank you so much for the great PR…and it must have generated some sales…my book was ranked at #43 on the Amazon best-seller list until your blog came out and then we rose to #30…Yippie! Blessings from bobby weaver
You're welcome, Bobby. We're aiming for number one, yes?
Good word, N.
An important word, don't you think?
