Lessons from the Back Pew

The space between us as God's sinful children and His infinite love is found in His grace. Grace is a diamond with many facets. Those facets are seen within the light of scripture and reflection. Lessons from the Back Pew is an honest, sometimes funny and insightful examination of how to close the gap between us and God by addressing the obstacles to His grace that we place in our own way. Parables and common language were Jesus' way of communicating to the world. This book is not a study from a seminary, the analysis of a language scholar or the thesis of a doctoral candidate. The chapters of this book look at grace from the life of an every day believer, using scripture, experience, failing and time at the foot of the cross to speak to those who seek grace as God's gift to bring us back to Him.
