An exploration of spiritual growth and untapped potential blending personal history, heartfelt insights, biblical analysis, and a great deal of humor. In this inspirational work, Nell Christianson reminds us that everything we possess—our strengths, our intelligence, and our worldly goods—comes directly from God, and if we utilize our talents, our lives will have eternal purpose. She builds much of her discussion around Matthew 25: 14-30, the Parable of the Talents, and challenges us to make good choices and use our gifts and talents wisely. The book speaks of reward and responsibility. Borrowed Goods takes you on a prodigal’s journey aboard a cruise ship called “Earth.” As a passenger you arrive at your final destination to meet a loving God who wants a personal relationship with you. And God, a righteous Judge, requires accountability when you dock on the other shore. “Read this to your benefit. Learn to deal with life without casting blame or excuses. In these pages, you will find yourself on every page—and be pointed to the only One who can get you through, the Lord Jesus Christ.”—Dr. Jimmy & Carol Ann Draper, president emeritus of LifeWay & his wife “One of the best books I have ever read . . . I believe Borrowed Goods will touch the heart of every reader. It will be a wonderful Bible study for small groups. Reading it gave me a new vision for prayer in my life.”—Sandy Weeks, president, Stuffing Strut, Inc.
In the capital city of Jackson, visual artists and craftsmen have historically found a place where their work is cherished as part of the local economy. The works span nearly all mediums from sculpting to painting. Beginning in the 1920s with the formation of Wolfe Studios and spanning decades of change and development, Jackson studios have emerged and reigned as the preeminent strongholds of economic development and creative culture in the capital city. Author Nell Linton Knox and photographer Ellen Rodgers Johnson capture the compelling narratives behind some of the well-known craftsmen whose studios are mainstays in Jackson's oldest neighborhoods.
