Description
Like its predecessor, Forget Self-Help, there is no book out there like The Criminal: The Power of an Apology. Through the use of literature, historical figures, music, movies, and scripture, Fellows encourages us all to imitate the--fairly unknown--criminal on the Cross who repents before he is crucified next to Jesus in Luke 23:39-43.
Fellows asserts that this criminal exemplifies the character traits we all need in our daily walk with Christ which are humility, integrity, vulnerability, discipline, gratitude, and courage. Only when we possess this, Fellows writes, will we begin to realize our God-given potential and in doing so, become closer to others and God. Fellows' uncanny ability to link seemingly disparate items together to form and frame arguments will help you learn more about your faith, as well as challenge you. Through his use of fairly obscure Bible verses, as well as classics you have heard since elementary school, your knowledge of scripture will increase and faith will deepen.
The Criminal encourages you to be a man or woman after God's own heart. While Fellows does argue that we need Jesus's grace to get into heaven, he is unafraid to outline why these character traits that the criminal possesses allows us to get closer to Him and others.
