Seventeenth-century Puritan John Bunyan speaks to us in a way that is much different from usual preachers. Given his own struggles with his faith, his words come from a place of no judgement and so can reach us far deeper. Bunyan explains to us the different levels of fear as felt through our path to Christ: first the fear that brings us to God, then the fear the Devil plants in us to make us doubt, and the fear of God himself which is not an evil, but one that gives us the desire to glorify Him.

Ever determined to pass on the positive traits God represents, James Smith shares his views on what are, in his mind, God’s key attributes. Love, mercy, merit, grace … This piece reads as a true ode to the ultimate father. 

Christians can take comfort in their community, their divine soul, eternity.... But with all the trials and suffering created by the Christian Father, they can be tested in their faith. James Smith dedicates this work to all the Christians who care to hear the soothing words scattered across the pages of the bible and strengthen their resolve. God is love.
