God's Green Smoothie Book: The Naked Truth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min
This book was written in response to some questionable practices regarding the development of green smoothie books. It serves as a warning to customers purchasing green smoothie-type books as well as those making such books that God is not mocked whatsoever a man soweth, he will also reap one way or another. It is my sincere desire to speak God word to life and power for the listener. It is my prayer that those putting out such books will be convicted by the Holy Spirit, turn from their deception and ultimately repent and develop a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. I'm hopefully optimistic that those listening to this book would genuinely take the heart the words written down, consider them, ponder on them but above all take action on them. Knowledge without action is in vain and pointless as too is action without knowledge. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Hanko.
