Scripture behind the book's title “The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones. He led me around among the old dry bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground. Then he asked me/ ‘Son of man, can these bones become living persons again?”
“O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, ‘you alone know the answer to that.” [Ezekiel 37:1-3] NEW LIVING TRANSLATION
A Question for Society Are Christians today struggling for lack of information or lack of understanding? Relevance of this query coincides with the large number of churches in North America that are dying, stagnant or in decline. Is it because messages from the Lord are rare, that his word is no longer relevant, or is it that intellectual knowledge supersedes spiritual understanding. Jesus said to some religious leaders, “You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me so that I can give you this eternal life. [John 5:39, 40]
Joshua A. McClure in his book “Can These Bones Live?” gives a timely and compelling response for the Body of Christ. Along with his newest book, Almost persuaded, Now to believe” his writings are rare treasures in Christendom today. Here the author has taken concepts that we often use, assuming, mistakenly, that the listener understands, and has wrapped them around events of everyday life. The content is well thought out, superbly written and deeply rooted in the Scriptures, yet simple, clear, and concise that a child or older adult can experience God’s transforming power in their lives.
Almost Persuaded, Now to believe, is available for download too! The book will be released as an audio book as well as an e-book from Tate Publishing. McClure's primary focus is to share the gospel story clearly and so powerfully, that a young person or older adult can each grasp the same transforming power for life.
