The book of Jeremiah, like all other Old Testament books, is a mystery that God intends for us to solve. Judah has fallen in sin. God sends the army from the North (Babylon) to destroy them for their sins. Judah goes into captivity for seventy years. Eventually, God punishes Babylon and sends Zerubbabel and Ezra to guide his people back to Jerusalem. There is more to this story that meets the immediate eye. Surface lessons exist, no doubt, but there is a bigger picture that involves the gospel of Jesus Christ (truth) (Colossians 2:16-17 and Hebrews 8:1-5).

Maybe you have the same dilemma getting close to God, the one described in scripture as “the all-consuming fire”? Is he friend or foe? Would you run to him or from him? But what if God really is trustworthy? What if, up close to the fire of his love, he warms your heart and shapes your life for the wonder and purpose always meant for you? Isn’t that a fire worth running to and a forge worth entering?

This book is a way to think about thriving by using a different lens. One thing that author John R. Robertson has learned from the many first responders he has worked with is a quality they called "muscle memory".

This book is a result of a two-and-a-half year study with Catholics. For one hour, every Thursday morning, we met in person and through Zoom once the Covid-19 pandemic hit. The study was very enlightening. I was able to hear, first hand, why Catholics believe sacred tradition. My experience with them was very pleasant. They were all very cordial, kind, and willing to talk about our differences. My conclusion, which they do not deny, is that they are lacking in knowledge of the Bible.
