Publisher's Synopsis
Would you like to be sure you have eternal life? Do you often imagine God using a balancing scale to weigh your good deeds on one side and your bad deeds on the other? Do you ask yourself if you have been good enough to be saved? Do you struggle to please God, thinking that you must earn His blessings by doing better? Do you sometimes feel that you are being punished by God?
