Shane’s Reviews > Redemption: Freed by Jesus from the Idols We Worship and the Wounds We Carry > Status Update

So far we have read about a male who was living as a gay, who was transformed by the love of Christ, and about a female who was seeking the attention of all her male classmates. These two are now serving the Lord in all that they do. AMEN!!

Peter was baptized new in Christ, however his past crimes had a hold still on him, since he had a warrant out for his arrest from something prior to surrendering to Christ he was arrested as he was still wet from being submerged into water.

Is there much similarity between the way the Pharaoh was and the way this world is today? Pharoah wanted to strike fear into the hearts of the people and keep them busy so they would have no time or energy to entertain ideas about deliverance. This could be the way America and the leaders are aiming for, they keep us busy needing to work in order to pay all these bills and to be able to eat.

In these last pages that I read, it discusses a guy named Peter who had been in and out of jail six times in only two years, most of his family disowned him. He ended up homeless and sleeping outdoors, one night little did he know, the doorway he slept in was a Christian mission that provides breakfast, he learned that this shelter had a program to help with addictions, he joined. This was God lining it up!!

This is only the introduction of the book so far. I love how the author points out the fact that the Bible is written about Jesus and not us.
