Freedom Bargains Joshua S Boateng Phd

In our Christian walk in this world, we are always presented with choices and subtle offers that can appear appealing. However, we often ignore the small print, either deliberately, or through ignorance. Interestingly, the Israelites, faced similar offers, as they 'negotiated' with Pharaoh for their freedom from slavery. Freedom Bargains explores five subtle offers usually presented to us as alternatives to God's ideal of real and total freedom. It provides lessons from the wisdom of Moses and his attention to detail, in avoiding these subtle traps (schemes), intended to keep believers in perpetual bondage and also provides vital biblical keys for walking in complete freedom. The book details the need to be alert to our life's purpose as spelt out by God, in being able to navigate past all the traps that are intended to trip us into living life below the level God intends for us. It encourages and challenges believers to re-examine God's original intention for setting us free. It encourages us to be alert to and remain steadfast in the liberty with which we have been set free and to let this be manifest in all areas of our lives. The book is written in a contemporary, conversational style with real life (personal, family, social and political) examples which speaks to current popular and social culture and makes it easily accessible to those new to engaging with the Bible as well as more mature believers. This notwithstanding, the book's message is strongly biblical and culturally informed. The chapters include contemporary real-life stories and quotations from a wide spectrum of well-known Christian and political leaders, which will make it easy for most readers to identify with. It is my desire for you to believe again that you can walk in complete freedom in all aspects of your life and to go ahead and live it. Above all, I desire that all believers will rise up and be outward looking to impart their freedom found in Christ, to other people in their various fields of endeavor.
