Web research on the book "A New Earth," turned up this jewel unexpectedly. I was immediately captured. This book puts forth the proposition that you may have been living your life under the "cloud of a lie" which has controlled your thinking and actions. A lie that didn't allow you to live as fully as you were meant, to succeed, to realize the full joy you're capable of.
The Apple You Were Fed lets us "eavesdrop" on page-turning diaglog between a legalistic Christian and a liberal agnostic, lets you follow along on a journey with them that leads to an amazing end. Discover what the authors call "Soul Value," which can be discovered by reading their book.
This is a story about two girls, Kimberly and Andrea, who became neighbors and each possessed a set of values totally opposite each other's. The girls change as they grow in friendship and understanding of the real truth for all of us. The truth that holds meaning for all our lives.
The authors term what we live under in our modern world as the "universal lie," and through personal conversational dialogue between the two main characters they, as we, are led to "the whole Message to transform lives." They uncover truths, how the Church sometimes prevents, rather than forwards, the true Message for believers. How Christians may antagonize people instead of leading them to the Truth.
I downloaded the free devotional to accompany the book, and you will love this. Immediately we're challenged to rethink some of our biased beliefs and encouraged to dare to open our minds and hearts, and to see the God of the Bible who told us to do just that.
I believe that to be the main principle of the Bible. To seek, to search the message Jesus taught as it applies to my life. He told us if we seek him, he will make himself known.
