Thursday, August 20, 2015
Today's show is hosted by Penna Dexter who is joined by author, Dan Lemburg and American Family Radio's, JJ Jasper. In the final segment of the show, singer and song writer, Michael W. Smith tells us about his cameo role in the movie, 90 Minutes in Heaven which opens in theaters on September 11. Lemburg discusses his book, Free from the Power of Sin: The Keys to Growing in God in Spite of Yourself . The book is about the provision God has made for our sin–not only referring to sin prior to our redemption, but our on-going struggle with the weakness of our flesh once we’ve become His child. JJ Jasper tells us about his book, Losing Cooper: Finding Hope to Grieve Well. The book chronicles the Jasper family’s journey through the darkness of grief, but offers hope to anyone experiencing trouble, trials, or tragedy. The book deals with shock, loss, and grief from a Biblical perspective.
