Get Closer to God. Honestly.
Is it okay to be honest with God? Even when you are upset, rage-filled, bored, depressed, or all of the above?
Abraham was honest with God. So was David. So was Jesus.
God doesn't shy away from our tough questions or pleas for answers. There's evidence He actually appreciates our honesty. So why are we hiding what He already knows anyway? Study important characters from the Bible who knew what it meant to be honest with God. Find out what they knew about God and how you too can "enter the ring" to wrestle your way to a closer relationship with the Creator.

If you've ever gotten into Romans and thought, "I just can't follow what Paul is saying here; it's too deep for me," then Life in the Spirit will clarify what seems murky and difficult.
Paul's letter to the believers in Rome is one of the most important theological documents ever written. Its influence on the Christian community has been enormous. Life in the Spirit is a bridge that will connect the same Spirit that influenced Paul with the reader of Romans today.
Using real-life stories, allegories, and insightful observations, Starr brings the first eight chapters of Romans to life. The discussion questions and thought-provoking "teasers" that are provided make this an ideal resource for your small group or Bible class. It makes a great personal study as well.
