For those pious Christians who rant and rave that they haven't read the book and don't need to, I say...You are the VERY people who should read it. Pastor Kerry Shook and his wife teach not only the Bible, but how to LIVE it. The duty of a Pastor is not only to preach to his congregation, but to show them how to live the Word. Preaching Fire and Brimstone only pushes many people away from the church...especially the young. Why not show people, not only by their example but by the Word how to achieve a happy and loving life which is what Jesus taught and expected us to do. We use a dictionary to teach our children to spell and understand words, why not books to help us understand the importance of God in our lives and how it affects our families?
One only has to attend one of their services to see what peacefulness and closeness to God it brings us. And their guest speakers are people who are witnesses and relate Jesus to our present day lives. To see the youth programs that are available and see the the amount of kids attending on Saturday nights instead of hanging out at the Mall or on the streets is proof that Fellowship of the Woodlands is reaching families and providing wholesome outlets for these kids.
Jesus taught us to love and to embrace a good and Godly life together. Those negative comments from some make me sad for them that they are so full of hate and so narrow minded that they cannot open their hearts to a Pastor who is trying to help as many people as he can. To them I say...Stop quoting the Bible, and start living it.
One Month to Live is a wonderful book. I received it from my loving son for my birthday.
So thank you Pastor Kerry and Chris. You are spreading the Word and showing us all that life is precious.
