We must commit to reflecting the image of Jesus by loving and forgiving others. Knowing the Bible is useless unless we show others the grace and love of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Carruth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1664277757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781664277755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e WestBow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2023","brand":"Alan Carruth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070197199103,"sku":"9781664277755","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e2cf259-6065-469f-a659-820f0840c77c.jpg?v=1685428923","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blessings-alan-carruth-9781664277755","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
