SALVATION: IT'S NOT WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS Advice & encouragement for disillusioned believers So you walked the aisle and prayed the "sinner's prayer." Now what? Is that all there is to salvation? Absolutely not. Salvation is the beginning-not the end-of the story. In this fresh approach to true Christianity, veteran Pastor Don R. Vining shows people of all ages how to: Be in Christ; not merely of Christ Tell if you are a giver, taker, or jerk Grow in this thing called grace Stand firm in hard times Rejoice in hope Prime the prayer pump Forgive others--especially jerks Make inward changes, with outward results Becoming like Christ is a lifelong journey, and the author uses wit and humor to encourage Christians of all ages to weed out false ideas-and get excited about the trip. Grab a copy and find out what kind of relationship Christ wants to have with you. It is so much more than most of us have ever dreamed! "It's more than a prayer in your head -it's a birth in your heart" "This is a good book, especially for all young pastors who are establishing and growing a church. Don Vining is one of our most dedicated young pastors in the Church of God." -Larry J. Timmerman Church of God, General Evangelism & Home Missions Department
