We all know the jokes about lawyers. That's the first line of this book. It's true, too. We've heard them, but we also know we can't live without the rules that make up our world. God's rules are the same. When people try to live outside his sanctioned modes of behavior, society crumbles under its own weight, and bedlam ensues. We have to have an example of righteousness held high for others to emulate. We are that example, and the Bible is our handbook. Even so, it can be difficult to apply biblical principles to our 21st century lifestyle. How do we take stories from 2,000 years ago and make them fit into the computer age? That's what God and Discipleship for the Modern Christian is designed to do. From Jesus on the Flip Side (for those of us who grew up with vinyl) to Raggedy Ann Behind the Wheel (for the backseat drivers), we will be entertained and spiritually challenged by the essays included in this book. In addition, God will reveal himself to us as he never has before. We can count on it.
