Description of book:
At its heart, this book is a comforting companion and helpful counselor for average Christians interacting with the law, perhaps feeling bewildered, overwhelmed, or uneasy about how their legal situations align with their Christian morals and beliefs. The book is comprehensive in scope, but written in a friendly, conversational tone. The legal topics addressed are carefully selected to cover those most likely to be encountered by regular folks in the course of their everyday lives. By presenting a practical Christian perspective informed by God's rich array of relevant scriptural wisdom, this book will release multitudes of Christian believers from the tangled web of moral confusion and ethical compromise so often promoted and exacerbated by lawyers and the legal establishment. Readers will be enlightened, encouraged in their faith, and empowered in their ability to make sound decisions to honor that faith, even in the high-stakes, pressure-filled secular legal arena.

I understand, truly I do. But I’m sure the project developed in perfect time according to God’s will for you and those who will benefit from it.
Thanks much.
You've got such a great knack for saying nice things! Your years of treating people with such unfailing hospitality have made you into a Master of Kindness!
Thanks for stopping in, Quix.
Thank you for bumping by, dear brother in Christ!
That is mighty kind of you, dear brother in Christ, and I do thank you for your encouragements. But of a truth, if anyone ever finds a good thing in what I say or do, it is not me but Christ in me. Before Him, I was completely self-centered and unlovable.
He has a way of doing that. My life verse is Psalm 127:1 "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it." Anything I do that is not for and with God is just a wasted effort, and only the things He does with and through me have any real value.
Well and truly said, dear brother in Christ!
CERTAINLY.

Alamo-Girl, I’m gonna turn in for the night. If you’re up, please feel free to make yourself at home here on the thread - - - take anything you want from the fridge, choose your favorite chair - - - just turn out the lights when you’re done!
Thank you so much! Will do. Sleep well!
Thanks again, dear Quix!
Congratulations on your book, LikeLight! What a great idea. Hope it’s on Amazon so we can all order a copy of it.
Thank you so much for dropping by, dear sister in Christ!
Thank you for the ping, Alamo-Girl. It’s always nice to see a fellow FReeper being published. 8~)
I strongly agree! Thank you so very much for bumping by!
I’m turning out the lights now. See y’all tomorrow!
Best response and best defense.
Thanks for dropping in, Dr.! I’m guessing the book will be on Amazon eventually (I’m checking into that with my publisher, courtesy of some good advice from toddlintown), but right now the pre-release on christianbook.com is the primary outlet - - - you can get there directly from my IsThereALawyerInTheChurch.com website at the top of the thread.
