Shut Up and Pray - "Conclusion"

Stories of Faith - Book 7 - Shut Up and Pray (and Other Stories of Faith)

Here you will join John and Sofi in their discussions about the Christian Faith. They are fictional characters who are attending the Alpha Course to get their Questions of Life answered.

It is an opportunity to learn more about Relational Evangelism and the kinds of topics and questions (and even answers) you might want to employ when you are involved in a Spiritual Conversation.

We aren't shy talking about sin and the disease we have within and we aren't worried about telling the truth right from the start. After all, they want the perspective of the Bible and what better place to give it to them than from the Book of Romans.

This is not your typical collection of short stories and we believe you will be fascinated from beginning to end.

"Conclusion"

What a lot of people don't realize is that each one of these stories normally come from one of my other books. But this collection of short stories is different because all of the stories were written from only one book called Walking the Roman Road of Salvation: Discovering the Power of Relational Evangeliam. (www.bertamsing.com/romanroadseries)

So this time I will give you a taste of the different short story collections within this series in case you didn't know about the previous ones or are wondering what is coming. There are seven books in total. We hope you enjoy each and every one of them.

Jesus was an Alien (and Other Stories of Faith) - Book 1

Here you might talk to Jesus about your neighbors and get his perspective. Here you may encounter God in flip flops in a boardroom or discover that Jesus was an alien (or not).

Here a funeral can be a wedding and you can rejoice in the shock of Lucifer at the cross as Jesus raises his spiritual head and looks upon his enemy in triumph.

All this, and more, awaits to inspire your own story of faith. Read. Share. Love. The Divine Story is lived in you and through you.

God is an Atheist (and Other Stories of Faith) - Book 2

Here you might find out if the Devil really has the best music and let an eight-year-old evangelist teach you the heart of God. Discover what it takes for a revival to start on Mars Hill or find out that God is actually an Atheist (or not).

Here you may witness the temptation of the Archangel Gabriel and Joshua can teach you the Way of a Desert Warrior. Or the power of Faith Therapy when all hope is lost.

All this, and more, awaits to inspire your own story of faith. Read. Share. Love. The Divine Story is lived in you and through you.

The Holy Spirit is a Fake (and Other Stories of Faith) - Book 3

Here you will find out what real Spiritual Warfare is all about and whether God's Love Wins in the end or not. Here you can discover if the Holy Spirit is a fake or whether we are. It all depends on who is in charge.

You can travel back in time to the Tower of Babel and wonder at God's intervention in the affairs of men or witness the death of the Rabbi Gamaliel and his entrance into heaven. Or you might attend a convention where you hear and experience 7 hours of glory and your life will never be the same again.

All this, and more, awaits to inspire your own story of faith. Read. Share. Love. The Divine Story is lived in you and through you.

Christians are Hypocrites (and Other Stories of Faith) - Book 4

Here you will find out what a real hypocrite is and whether Christians are Hypocrites or not. You will also discover five stories from the Pandemic where we were thrown together for months at a time with different characters, mostly non-believers, who lived in our house.

From spiritual conversations to games of truco to pizza and coke, this is the best way to find out if hypocrisy is the best way to describe those who are trying to follow Christ.

To top it all off, my daughter, Michelle, wrote an essay for Yale College about her experiences during the Pandemic called Living with a Murderer. That is one you don't want to miss. She was there of course, but we didn't even imagine what she was thinking.

Heaven is a Myth (and Other Stories of Faith) - Book 5

Here you might find a Snake in your Garden and wonder what to do about it or experience the reverse discrimination that the Holy Spirit promotes in a denomination called The Pillar of Fire.

Here you may realize that you are the weakest link in your church and that makes you stronger than all the rest. Go back in time to the Stoning of Stephen or witness the Anointing of God in a local church which changes everything.

All this, and more, awaits to inspire your own story of faith. Read. Share. Love. The Divine Story is lived in you and through you.

Hell is a Joke (and Other Stories of Faith) - Book 6

Here you will find out what many people really think about a God who would send people to hell and whether they are right. But you will also discover what it means to be a Player when it comes to women and to God. You might find a mirror helpful here. And if you are still not convinced then read the story of the Undoing of Jonathan Temperley and you will be.

Travel into the past to experience the Fire on the Mountain together with Moses and the Sacrifice of Isaac together with Abraham. Then jump forward to the first convert of Christianity, the thief on the cross, and his guardian angel, Sundor as he faces the wrath of Satan himself.
