Hey everybody, Pastor Burton here today and we have a quick coffee break, but
we're not gonna go into the Bible. We are going to be talking something
biblically related though. Absolutely wonderful. Today I'm actually going to be
doing a quick book review. There's a few books I'd love to talk to you about,
however, I'm only going to be talking about one specifically here today. And the
book I physically have in front of me, it's actually in my hands as we speak,
it's called Nelted Knee and it's written by Michael M. Grimes. Now, Nelted, it's a
very much like, not like you're taking a knee, right? K-N-E-L-T-E-D and a knee, K-N-E-E.
So, Nelted Knee by Michael M. Grimes. Now, I do need to preface this a little bit.
Michael is a brother Marine that I had the distinct pleasure of serving with
many, many years ago in Okinawa, Japan. And in the many years since, you know,
I've had the blessing of being able to keep in touch with him and he will be
the first to tell you that I won't pull any punches. If I don't like something, if
I feel something needs to be changed or edited, if I feel something's written at
a subpart level, anything like that, I'm gonna speak up a real quickly, alright?
Now, a little bit more about him. He is a native of Kentucky. After leaving active
duty, he did go on to serve with the Secret Service for a bit and then went
over to the US Marshals. You know, between Kentucky and the Marshal Service, sounds
a bit like a certain TV marshal, doesn't he? Anyway, do I recommend Nelted Knee?
Absolutely, yes, I do. Now, without giving anything away, I can tell you some about
this book, alright? It reads very much as a devotional and at certain points,
almost like many sermons, however, something I personally found very
refreshing is that he speaks to you like a person and you can tell he's speaking
from the heart. He's not trying to preach at anybody, which is absolutely
wonderful. This is something a lot of people in this realm of writing could
definitely benefit to learn from. Now, you will find Nelted Knee is very well
researched. It's loaded with scripture, questions, answers, prayer. It's very
thought-provoking and the way it's designed is to help you to understand
what it is to serve in the kingdom of God and it's written at a point where
it doesn't matter if you're new in your walk or if you've been serving for years
and you're just trying to better understand, you're going to benefit from
this book, alright? So it's Nelted Knee by Michael M. Grimes. It's available both
in physical and ebook format on Amazon right now and really, you know, I do have
to say you are not going to break the bank. If you want the ebook
version, it's only going to be a couple bucks. If you prefer a physical copy
like I do, it's about five dollars. So definitely, you know, you're not going to
have to take out a mortgage or, you know, chop off an arm, sell a kid or anything
like that. It's, you know, it's definitely reasonably priced because it's there to
help people, not bank a fortune, which is absolutely wonderful of that, you know, to
be there because you don't see that very often these days. It's definitely a
blessing in itself. So it's Nelted Knee by Michael M. Grimes and while you're
there, you'll notice he does have a number of other great books as well for
you to check out. So brother, let me just say well done. This is a great book. I'm
proud of you and to everybody. God bless. I'll catch you soon. Go and be the church.
