Look for the ones who are poor in spirit; who mourn their sin; who aren’t entitled, always insisting on their own way, but are meek; who are sick to death of sin and all its nonsense and so hunger and thirst for righteousness like it is water. When you find people like that, make sure they know who Jesus is. Make sure Jesus is the one who fills their impoverished spirit, who has forgiven their sins, who receives their life and worship, and whose righteousness they depend upon and pursue. When you find such people, tell them to join!

Susan,
I just finished reading this two days ago.  I read it in about 3 days.  I had a hard time putting it down to go to sleep at night.  It is excellent, isn't it?  Up until a year or so ago I didn't read much fiction, but then I got tired of non-fiction with everyone telling me through their books their opinion, not necessarily the truth.  The only truth, I came to discover, is God's truth, not what someone else is interpreting for me.  So, still being a reader, I started reading more Christian fiction.  Before that I would read it here and there and now it is almost exclusively fiction.  I've learned so much more through Christian fiction than I have through Christian non-fiction.  I know all fiction is based on something that has happened in the author's life or someone close to them.  I see how God works in their characters, how the characters go through difficult times and see more of God in their lives.  Because of Francine Rivers' new book, I have made the decision to make sure and befriend our new pastor's wife and children who are coming to our church in August.  I just want them to know that we love them and value them for who they are.

Dear Friends,

As most of you know, I don't read a lot of fiction.  So when a Christian novel grabs me, I need to tell you about it!

This is Francine Rivers' latest book "And the Shofar Blew".  It's a contemporary novel, about a pastor and his family.  I won't say anymore, but I will say that I've had a hard time putting it down to do other things!!  It's about 450 pages and I'm not a speed-reader, so it's taking me awhile to get it finished.

I got mine at the public library, and I'm SO thankful to have a good public library and church library!

Love,
Susan
