Why the author wrote this book:For several reasons. One is, I wanted to reiterate my belief that as Christians, we need to see a person for who they are on the inside, not their physical appearance. Too, I believe that as Christians we frequently ignore some human failings but perpetuate others. Drinking alcohol to excess is wrong but we tend not to worry about overeating. |
