Publisher's Synopsis
Although author Joellen Saddock was raised in a Christian household, she often found herself on the outside of religion looking in. In Christian Awakening, she narrates a coming-of-age story about the way she discovered answers to all her tough religious questions. More than anything, her story exemplifies how God's law actively works to multiply desires and assist in creating a life of possibilities. Her story is about man's mountain-moving potential that has, until now, been obscured by religious hypocrites. Christian Awakening explores the deeper meanings of the Holy Bible, how it parallels other religions, and shares the message of a loving unity between all of God's people. Saddock prods you to set aside the idea that man begins and ends in the confines of his own skin and suggests a broader perspective of what it means that men-of all religious backgrounds-are "given one spirit to drink" (1 Corinthians 12:13). Through an intense scrutinization of many different biblical translations, interwoven between riveting personal experiences, a new message of religious tolerance emerges. Offering a fascinating perspective on Christ's death, Saddock leaves you at the crossroads of the divine, suggesting the time has come to take each other by the hand and greet the dawn of "a new earth in which righteousness dwells" together as one united people (2 Peter 3:13).
