How George Became Naked

WHY YOU MAY WANT TO READ THIS NOVEL: Because you want to be ok with God, No one was happier to escape accountant duty than Jerry when he pitched all the Sin Account books into the dumpster behind Martha's. It is a tribute to Satan's skill at lying that so many of us dive into that dumpster and emerge, putrid and garbage-strewn, with ledgers in our upraised hands, carefully wiping off ketchup and picking off pickles to retrieve a sister's account, or, more the sorrow, our own.. . . or because maybe you don't want the pop quiz, Grabbing Naked by the sleeve, Cain pulled him aside. "Look, Naked buddy, I figure Jesus died to set all the prisoners free. That's a fact whether or not people know squat about Him. Unless you plan to give John here a pop quiz on his doctrine, I suggest we let him come along.". . . or because experiencing love feels REALLY great, What happened next exploded Naked's brain forever: Papa asked with a voice of gentle censure: "Naked, do you still not realize how much I love you?". . . or because maybe, like George, you are no spiritual giant, When pressed to admit it, George accepted that he had never been a giant of faith. Since coming to the Ranch and experiencing Papa's overwhelming love, George continued his job as an accountant: a debit here, a credit there, helping rich entrepreneurs become richer. No vow of poverty. No visions of new ministries. No itinerant preaching. Instead, George continued his desire to be right, to defeat brothers and sisters in spiritual arguments, and to look good in everyone's eyes. He fasted more to feed the vanity of his appearance than to be fed with spiritual food. His need to dominate Melinda and his sexual hang-ups remained little changed. Clearly, George was a jeans and T-shirt type of Christian in the midst of richly-dressed martyrs. . . . or because theology is easier to understand as a novel;. . . or because the following Gift Contract is for people like you.THE GIFT CONTACTI, your Papa, so want my children back. By children, I mean any of you, whether Abraham's descendants or not. Nothing anymore is standing in your way. Here's what you get if you want it: ● Read what we get on page 148.] Here's what you have to do to get all these gifts: ● Come home and receive them.I know it's hard to believe in this offer. You do not know me well. You are not confident of my love for you. You have the knowledge of good and evil, and you are too ashamed to come home. You must return home voluntarily to receive all I offer. I cannot force you. You must accept by coming to me.I will not breach my promise. Once you accept these gifts, I will not take them back, nor can anyone take them from you. You cannot break this contract because you are not promising to do anything. I am not keeping track of sins anymore. The only way you can lose under this agreement is to not believe me and refuse to accept the gifts or reject them after accepting them.I will hold open this offer for a long time-but not forever. Come home soon, dear one. Papa's signature]
