Jurisdiction: A Cop and a Pastor Talk about Life (Hardcover)
Most people believe in God but they are just not sure what that means. Jurisdiction is a discussion between a career cop and a career pastor that brings the realities of life together with God's view of life. Thirteen questions frame the progression of thought:
- What's wrong with us?
- Isn't someone going to do something?
- Is our conscience aware of God?
- What is our natural response to God?
- What about free will?
- Is there really a God who cares?
- Has God spoken to us?
- Does God have the final say in all things?
- How does God's will interact with our free will?
- What is the result of rejecting God?
- What can I do to inherit eternal life?
- How does God bring us eternal life?
- What is the result of yielding to God?
