Read it. Rethink your expectations of church; and of life itself.","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48522468032753,"sku":"9781494347901","price":10.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781494347901_p0.jpg?v=1786225220","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781494347901","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
