By Pastor Mike Novotny
Will God still love me after what I've done?
Do I really have to forgive everyone?
Is hell a real place, and did Jesus talk about it?
The answers to these questions are found in some of the Bible’s words that seem confusing and uncomfortable. Words like grace, forgiveness, and hell. What do they really mean? And how do they apply to our lives?
This book by Pastor Mike Novotny breaks down ten of the Bible’s most important—and most often misunderstood—words so you don’t miss out on what they reveal about the character of your loving and faithful God and his plan of salvation for you through Jesus.
As you see these words with fresh eyes from God’s perspective, you’ll discover the power they have to strengthen your faith and bless your life, and you won’t miss out on what God wants you to know! Discover that
• Forgiveness God’s way delivers you from anger.
• True understanding of grace sets you free from guilt.
• Because of God’s salvation, you’re never alone.
Excellent biblical explanations and references to clarify the meaning of the words commonly used in Christianity.
Mike Novotny’s relatable illustrations help apply the meaning to real life.
End of chapter questions lead to reflection and deeper thinking.
Suitable for a small group or individual study.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're grateful to hear that the biblical explanations, practical illustrations, and reflection questions helped make the truths of Scripture clear and applicable to everyday life. It's especially encouraging to know that you found the book useful for both individual study and small group discussion. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and may God continue to bless you through his Word.
I was pleased this book gives God's definition AND the husband's responsibilities when clarifying "submission". Brides often want to omit that word from their vows, but in it's proper use it is a beautiful gift.....Husbands treat your wives as Christ treats his church. What a responsibility! What love! Wives, build your husbands up so they can be more Christ-like.
There are so many words addressed that many think they understand, but this points to God's definitions and shows the love God has for his children.
Thank you for your review!
We are using this in a small group women’s Bible study. We have just done the first two words, forgiveness and submission. Both subjects created a lot of good discussion. These are two subjects that are very challenging for many women. This is the first time we have used a book like this where we read it together and then discuss. So far so good! I actually ordered 10 of your books to review and we look forward to using more of them in the future. God bless your ministry.
Thank you for your review, Shirley! What a wonderful way to use the book! I hope you find other Time of Grace books that you can use in your bible studies in the future. God's blessings to you and your group!
I start each day with time of grace .Listening to different topics that touch the heart I get peace and assurance of salvation thru Gods Word.
The topics chosen relate to everyday life.Thank you for the world and your message.I have many of the books which help guide me in my everyday life.Thank you all and may God Bless You.
