And as with that stash of old clothes in the closet or that stew of phone chargers, pens, and half-used batteries sitting in your kitchen drawer, something in us says, \"This might be useful.\" And so we hold on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut should we? For many, this junk drawer spirituality has become burdensome. We are worn down by the religious experience it creates and frustrated by a collection of traditions, \"truths,\" and unfulfilled promises that continue to grow. In \u003ci\u003eJunk Drawer Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e, the spiritually exhausted are invited to examine our religious clutter and compare it to the person and the promises of Jesus Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe'll discover what—if anything—of our spiritual collection should be kept. In the process, we rediscover the soul-satisfying simplicity of a God who refuses to fill our lives with junk but instead offers grace upon grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596717342956,"sku":"9781956658491","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781956658491-junk-drawer-jesus.jpg?v=1777938089","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/junk-drawer-jesus-by-matt-popovits-9781956658491","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
