We write down stuff that is for our eyes only. It's a safe place to hide our fears, failures, and frustrations with ourself, our friends, and even God. Journals are never meant to be read to the world, because if we did, they would reveal who we really are. Nobody really wants to undress their soul in front of others, to be made fun of-me included. Somewhere behind the halleluiahs, praise the Lords, and God is good stuff, there is this real place that only our journals have enough grace to accept. It's a place where 1+1 doesn't equal 2. It's a place where you mix red and blue and get gray. It's a place where you are mad at God and feel He's mad at you. That's what journals hold, the stories of our lives-not the way we always want them but the way they really are. When God invited me to write a book exposing my journal to the world, I politely rejected Him. Okay, not really politely. I balked, There is no way I am ever going to reveal what I spent a lifetime concealing. God, I'm a pastor and these stories don't make me look good; as you know, some don't even make me look like a Christian. God, how about you and I make a deal? On my forty-seventh book, I will let the world snoop around in my journal, but not my first. I refused to hand over the key to my journal, knowing God would just blab it to the whole world. I will not write a book that makes me look way more human than holy. That all changed one day when five strangers walked into McDonald's and tried pouring ketchup .","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50865139876113,"sku":"CIN1449766471G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52599018815761,"sku":"NLS9781449766474","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52749596885265,"sku":"NIN9781449766474","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52816300015889,"sku":"CIN1449766471A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1449766471.jpg?v=1751052302"},{"product_id":"integrity-book-dennis-cook-9781475983869","title":"Integrity","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany people, families and ministries end up on the trash heap because of a lack of integrity.

Some days we feel God is good and other days we're feeling he's a thug, threatening us; If we don't straighten up, bad things are coming our way. ?Nobody gets a hall pass to skip hurt. Some have hurt you, without you signing on the dotted line. Some have hurt themselves, feeling not worthy enough to give or receive love from God or others. Sometimes, stuff just happens  While sharing hope with one guy, he confessed; Dennis, keep moving on to the next dude. Don't waste your time on me I'm unredeemable. I've made peace with my hurt and a life without hope. It's just easier that way.? This book is a batch of short stories about people just like you, feeling one-day God is The Man and the next, not so much. ?My desire is that you will see There's Still Hope even if hurt keeps heckling you: Don't waste your time on me, I'm unredeemable. My prayer is, in reading these stories you will find hope by eaves dropping on others as they search for theirs","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53580494274833,"sku":"CIN1543903037VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781543903034.jpg?v=1779368490"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-dennis-cook.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
