The Rescue by Jim Cymbala
The Rescue: Seven People, Seven Amazing Stories… by Jim Cymbala My rating: 4 of 5 stars These six stories are soul stirring and faith building. Each story is the worst case scenario of perpetrators and perpetrating. There is deep sin with a great foothold. But, when God writes a story... there is redemption. The thing that stood out to me the most is how simple acts of kindness brought these people to Christ. It was not some great movement, it was simple words and gestures. One man living in an alley heard a tv from one of the apartments above him saying that Jesus was the only way. He was able to get off drugs and out of homelessness after this encounter. It spoke to me because it is so easy to be discouraged and not feel like small acts of kindness do anything. These six stories help us remember that no act is to small to be used by Christ. I am a big fan of Ann Spangler and the stories that come out of the Brooklyn Tabernacle via Jim Cymbala. View all my reviews P...
