At that time I wrote that I had discovered a number of things in this book that would... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintEmailLike this:Like Loading... Categories Book Reviews Comments: 8
February 9, 2011 Pride Is the Chief Cause of Our Woes I heard an awesome sermon in church last Sunday. There was nothing in the sermon that I didn’t know already. It was a presentation of the Gospel.

December 9, 2010 The Humble King Last week I downloaded a new Christmas album from Amazon.com that has a variety of artist on it.
