Impossible? Too brief to do any good? Perhaps this would be true for a church service, but imagine a book filled with uplifting, inspirational, motivating, heartfelt, fascinating, and timely messages. Imagine forty narratives-forty messages-exploring scriptures, anecdotes, and the message of the church, all in easy-to-read, five-minute mini-sermons featuring more than seventy-five scripture passages, numerous three-point outlines, and a unique scripture index.

In "Shining Sun Christian," you'll learn the importance of adding beauty to your day, or noticing the special, spiritual brightness of your surroundings.
