Oscar Cruz Jr. Cruz 1 BG Guttierez ENGL 2327 23 February, 2012 Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God In the story Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God in holds a sermon on how your life should be led to with several techniques he tries to grab your attention with his grace and how you would go to heaven. Not everybody believes in god but in my point of view I believe that with the will of the lord everything is possible.

The book The Shack, by William Paul Young, addresses the topics of forgiveness, redemption, restoration, and a relationship with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Young takes a unique perspective on how a husband and father, Mack Phillips, deals with a tragic loss and how he comes to find his faith once more. This book takes readers on an amazing weekend encounter with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and Jehovah. As the weekend progresses we see this broken man transform and heal with each passing page.

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Paul was speaking about how as Christians, we should not strive to follow the mold of society, but rather follow the will of the Lord. At times, this can be difficult for a Christian business owner, yet the rewards for the Lord will outweigh the financial gains from following society.
