Whether you have been a bad Christian in the past, or have been hurt by one, there is a better way to live.\n\nDiscussion Guide Included for Individual and Small-Group Use\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0307729923\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0307729923.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Burchett, Dave\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
