The Bible is a religious masterpiece. Its authors cast a profound vision for the healing of humanity through the power of divine love, grace and forgiveness. But the Bible also contains dark texts that challenge our ethical imagination. How can one book teach us to love our enemies and also teach us to slaughter Canaanites? Why does a book that preaches the equality of all people -- male and female, slave and free, Greek and Jew -- also include laws that permit God's people to trade in slaves and to persecute those of a different faiths or ethnicities? In Sacred Word, Broken Word Kenton Sparks argues that the dark side of Scripture is not an illusion. Rather, these dark texts remind us that all human beings, including the biblical authors, stand in need of God's redemptive solution in Jesus Christ.Binding Type: Paperback

Darker than advertized
Size: Medium, Color: Grey, Size: Medium, Color: Grey
The grey is much darker than advertised. Additionally, jacket came with two buttons and not one as advertised. I ordered a Medium and it fits a little big. No inside pocket, which isn't the worst, but I really like inside pockets.

Nice for the price
Size: Large, Color: White
I needed a white jacket for a specific event and this is actually pretty good quality for the price. I was quite impressed. I’m only going to wear it one time, but I think you’ll be pleased with what you get for the money.

Know your body type.
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large
I really liked the look and the buttons when I ordered it but I wound up returning only because I have to have a slim or fitted cut for any shirt to look good on me. This shirt did not hug me in the sides and looked like I was wearing someone else’s clothes. Nice shirt and good quality but it didn’t fit me personally. I did consider having it tailored but the cost of doing that was almost as much as the shirt.
