They were stylish and well-spoken, and they were out to turn the church against the apostle Paul. They cast him as a frail, indecisive fumbler who got beat up everywhere he went.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo Paul responded with a full-length account of the glory of Christian weakness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis commentary traces Paul's argument as he shows how Christ empowers us not only to endure persecution, diseases, and disasters, but to relish them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the end, there are two competing visions of the Christian life. On the one hand there's a wall of marble tombs, magnificent and rotten. On the other there's a pile of clay pots, cracked or cracking, and filled with diamonds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1591281334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781591281337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Canon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.37d","brand":"Douglas Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46670685077759,"sku":"9781591281337","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diamonds-in-a-cardboard-box-douglas-wilson-9781591281337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
