  LM Penner

  LM Penner is a lapsed Protestant. (Is that even a thing?) For better or worse, though, her thoughts on faith are informed by her Christian upbringing, and this book of creative non-fiction essays reflects that fact. 
  Although no longer a church attendee (you'll find her reasons inside this book), her faith in God remains. How the divine reveals itself in her life and what walking out her faith looks like now, in 2024, is hugely different than it was pre-2016. Because she knows she is not the only one who feels this way, LM Penner wrote this book and is sharing her thoughts about living a spiritual life with you. 
  The essays in this book discuss heavy topics like suicide, controversial topics like the current status of the evangelical church, the surprisingly deep topic of Christmas carols, and inspirational topics like the spirituality of trees, of finding your destiny, of aging, and of birds. Plus more. 
  If you find yourself disillusioned by the common practices of your faith or the traumas of your life, the stories inside this book will encourage and uplift you. If you find yourself all alone but still wanting to feel the presence of the divine in your life, you will recognize some of the feelings expressed inside this book. And if you no longer find your spiritual home inside the walls of a church, but still long to feel the divine and live a spiritual life, then you will find comfort and hope inside the pages of this book. 
  Beer Drinking God Talking Girl starts with a death, and it ends with forgiveness -- not unlike the Christian tradition, itself. Perhaps LM Penner is not such a lapsed believer, after all. How about you?

  The Doctrine of Repentance - A...

  Repentance is not optional. It is not left to our choice whether or not we will repent, but it is an indispensable command. God has enacted a law in the High Court of heaven that no sinner will be saved except the repenting sinner, and he will not break his own law. No one can willfully continue in sin and expect to be covered by the blood of Christ. Even if all the angels stood before God and begged for the life of an unrepenting person, God would not grant it. The Lord God, compassionate and merciful, . . . who keeps faithfulness for thousands, . . . will by no means leave the guilty unpunished (Exodus 34:6-7). Though God is more full of mercy than the sun is of light, still He will not forgive a sinner who willfully continues to sin.Dying to sin is the life of repentance. The very day a Christian turns from sin, he must require of himself a perpetual fast. The eye must fast from impure glances. The ear must fast from listening to slander. The tongue must fast from cursing. The hands must fast from bribes. The feet must fast from unclean paths. And the soul must fast from the love of wickedness. This turning away from sin implies a noticeable change in the lives of those who truly follow Christ.Therefore let us, while we are on this side of the grave, make our peace with God!About the AuthorThomas Watson, a 17th-century English Puritan pastor, served at St. Stephen Walbrook Church in London for 16 years. He married Abigail Beadle and had seven children, four of whom died young. Imprisoned briefly in 1651 for plotting to restore Charles II, he returned to his pastoral duties until 1662 when laws against Nonconformists forced him to preach privately. In 1672, he obtained a license to preach at Crosby Hall, London, where he continued until his health declined. He died in 1686 in Barnston, Essex. Known for works like The Godly Man’s Picture and The Ten Commandments, Watson was a devout Christian who faced hardships with unwavering faith.
