"The Priest with the Dirty Clothes" by R.C. Sproul

The Priest with Dirty ClothesSnack of Choice:
There are days that you just need to celebrate victories. Today was one of those days, so I celebrated with a small (and I mean small) coffee and Boston Cream donut from the KING... of Donut’s, Mr. Dunkin. Thanks for the memory!

Story behind the story:
I received an electronic copy of this children’s book to review from Reformation Trust. No contract necessary! (and no requirements for a positive review). I had to come back after the great experience with “The Prince’s Poison Cup.”

Story Line:
R.C. Sproul, one of the great Christian thinkers of our time, has a desire to make complex theological concepts that make adult minds swirl and eyes glaze into something that even a child can understand. This story deals with the Imputation of Justification (that was fun). Basically, “how we are made acceptable to God through Jesus Christ’s righteousness” (5). 
It’s is rooted in the Scriptural event found in Zechariah 3:1-5 and the story of the Joshua (the high priest in the Biblical book of Zechariah, not the winner of Moses’ series finale of “The Apprentice”)

"The Prince's Poison Cup" by R. C. Sproul

The Prince's Poison CupSnack of Choice:

Brooklyn Pizza... ordered the Godfather without the anchovies. A crime? Maybe.

Story behind the story:
I enjoy the written word as much as anyone. The question at hand is, “Do I enjoy the electronic word?” This is the first PDF version of a book that I have read, and it’s a good thing I started with one that had pictures. I should let you know I received this book from Reformation Trust. I’m not required to give a positive review, but they do ask that I do not malign the Word of God. I think I can agree to that!
