Why? The apple gives off \"ethylene gas,\" accelerating the maturity of the kiwi, while the apple remains an apple. God, through the venue of Holy Spirit, showed me that my writings originally were the catalyst for accelerating my spiritual growth (maturity).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplying spiritual truths with physical truths: The contents of this book (the bi-product of my walk) discharge \"a spiritual ethylene gas\" by placing two spiritual fruit-bearing beings in a one-on-one setting. Such as with the relationship between the apple and the kiwi, you, the reader, will not become like me-but may have a better understanding of what God could produce \u003cem\u003eout of your own life\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ean example that you should follow in His steps.\u003c\/em\u003e-(1 Peter 2:21 NIV) *****This Book Becomes my Prayer(\u003cem\u003eWalking in the Footsteps of Christ, \u003c\/em\u003ePage 349) I pray, dear Lord, that Your readers, too, might take the timeAnd glean some of these teachingsAnd share with others as I have shared with them.Dear Lord, I place this book in Your HandsAs my \u003cem\u003efootsteps become footprints\u003c\/em\u003eFor generations to come.Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord Amen.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46513439703250,"sku":"9781685708962","price":28.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_80ad3ff0-49fc-404e-ae02-2f568bd9c988.jpg?v=1762929672","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/walking-in-the-footsteps-of-christ","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
