AUTHOR, THE DANIEL DILEMMA AND WHATS NEXT?

In a world where many may struggle to believe that God could really love us in our brokenness, this book is a refreshing reminder of the infinite grace that is ours in Christ Jesus. Lindell takes readers on an important journey in the Book of Romans that culminates with the panoramic view of Gods work for us on the cross, Gods work in us through His Spirit, and Gods work with us in grace. This book is a handy companion in a world of condemnation and rage with a central message: God is for us!
