00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,400
Hey everybody, Pastor Burton here today and we have a quick coffee break, but

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,360
we're not gonna go into the Bible. We are going to be talking something

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:14,240
biblically related though. Absolutely wonderful. Today I'm actually going to be

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,800
doing a quick book review. There's a few books I'd love to talk to you about,

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:24,440
however, I'm only going to be talking about one specifically here today. And the

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,280
book I physically have in front of me, it's actually in my hands as we speak,

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:36,520
it's called Nelted Knee and it's written by Michael M. Grimes. Now, Nelted, it's a

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:44,960
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.

9
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:52,120
So, Nelted Knee by Michael M. Grimes. Now, I do need to preface this a little bit.

10
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:57,880
Michael is a brother Marine that I had the distinct pleasure of serving with

11
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:05,640
many, many years ago in Okinawa, Japan. And in the many years since, you know,

12
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,160
I've had the blessing of being able to keep in touch with him and he will be

13
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:16,760
the first to tell you that I won't pull any punches. If I don't like something, if

14
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,760
I feel something needs to be changed or edited, if I feel something's written at

15
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:26,640
a subpart level, anything like that, I'm gonna speak up a real quickly, alright?

16
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,720
Now, a little bit more about him. He is a native of Kentucky. After leaving active

17
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,120
duty, he did go on to serve with the Secret Service for a bit and then went

18
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,400
over to the US Marshals. You know, between Kentucky and the Marshal Service, sounds

19
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:48,000
a bit like a certain TV marshal, doesn't he? Anyway, do I recommend Nelted Knee?

20
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,480
Absolutely, yes, I do. Now, without giving anything away, I can tell you some about

21
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:00,560
this book, alright? It reads very much as a devotional and at certain points,

22
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,120
almost like many sermons, however, something I personally found very

23
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:10,520
refreshing is that he speaks to you like a person and you can tell he's speaking

24
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,360
from the heart. He's not trying to preach at anybody, which is absolutely

25
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,200
wonderful. This is something a lot of people in this realm of writing could

26
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,720
definitely benefit to learn from. Now, you will find Nelted Knee is very well

27
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:30,200
researched. It's loaded with scripture, questions, answers, prayer. It's very

28
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:36,320
thought-provoking and the way it's designed is to help you to understand

29
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:42,160
what it is to serve in the kingdom of God and it's written at a point where

30
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,800
it doesn't matter if you're new in your walk or if you've been serving for years

31
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,920
and you're just trying to better understand, you're going to benefit from

32
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:57,200
this book, alright? So it's Nelted Knee by Michael M. Grimes. It's available both

33
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:05,400
in physical and ebook format on Amazon right now and really, you know, I do have

34
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,640
to say you are not going to break the bank. If you want the ebook

35
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:13,960
version, it's only going to be a couple bucks. If you prefer a physical copy

36
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:19,480
like I do, it's about five dollars. So definitely, you know, you're not going to

37
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,840
have to take out a mortgage or, you know, chop off an arm, sell a kid or anything

38
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,200
like that. It's, you know, it's definitely reasonably priced because it's there to

39
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:36,800
help people, not bank a fortune, which is absolutely wonderful of that, you know, to

40
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,600
be there because you don't see that very often these days. It's definitely a

41
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,800
blessing in itself. So it's Nelted Knee by Michael M. Grimes and while you're

42
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,480
there, you'll notice he does have a number of other great books as well for

43
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:55,640
you to check out. So brother, let me just say well done. This is a great book. I'm

44
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:15,320
proud of you and to everybody. God bless. I'll catch you soon. Go and be the church.
