ISBN: 1418486787
Every Sunday we go to church to get filled with the Lord’s word, but we never think about all the things that go on in a church day after day when we aren’t always there. The laughter of children, the happiness at a wedding, the sadness of a death or illness. This book brings you the everyday, ordinary happenings of what goes on in church from the view of “The Pew”
This book is an interesting book that follows you through the story of a family and insights of what it would be like to be a pew or any other object within a church. The daily occurrences, the lives of people in and out, everyday. The stories are followed by commentary from the pew and scriptures to give us more of God’s Word.
I think the author, Gail Larson, has given us something to think about. It is a fictitious story, but behind it the tale is a more in-depth meaning, “Does Your Pew Have Secrets?” “Would you change your life if your pew could speak and tell others what happens?” “Would you want your Pew to Speak?” It really gives us all something to think about. THE PEW.
