Sample preaching texts illustrate key points and show readers how to understand truth as a way of life that the Christian must pursue. Each chapter includes a summary of key insights, a list of practical takeaways, and probing questions for self-reflection or group dialogue. Garrido also provides a five-point assessment tool for preachers in a brief appendix to facilitate their willingness and growth toward better preaching about the practice of truth in the Christian life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ave Maria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39731300073543,"sku":"EZ19615","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1978\/5271\/files\/Lets-Talk-about-Truth-EZ19615-Inspirational-Gifts-Ave-Maria.jpg?v=1722336241","url":"https:\/\/www.michiganchurchsupply.com\/products\/lets-talk-about-truth-ez19615","provider":"Michigan Church Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
