Ingrid began this edition of Crosstalk by making listeners aware of a book that says a lot about the spiritual temperature of today's Christian culture. The book is entitled, One Minute Devotions for Women by Carolyn Larsen.
How is it that we've come to a time in Christianity that we have books published that attempt to play into our hectic schedules rather than encouraging us to become better stewards of our time so that we can spend more time with Christ?
Do you do your "devotions," check that off your checklist, and then go on with your daily activities? Devotion to Christ is to be a constant theme within our lives, not merely a moment out of each day. Such was the life of old path writers like Frances Ridley Havergal, a woman who left us with writings that can help inspire us to live such lives of devotion to our Lord.
Ingrid's brief discussion of Havergal's life is just one of numerous examples that are mentioned to encourage listeners to seek out the old path teachers and preachers that contain doctrinal heft, as opposed to those today that often teach "cotton candy."
Listeners mention their favorite Christian books/authors, both new and old, along with favorite website sources, the latter of which are listed below.
