{"product_id":"book-1ihb","title":"Poached Eggs: Selling Empty Shells","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Poached Eggs, Selling Empty Shells\" reflects my desire to challenge the misconceptions of Calvinism. Because of John Calvin's teachings, the church I grew up in ostracized me because I married a divorced man. A few of my siblings have also shunned me because of my firm belief in free will. They adhere to Calvin's predestination-only doctrine. I'm convinced that Calvin's doctrine is the primary cause of their cruel behavior, so I became determined to confront it at its source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowing up in a Calvinist church and attending its affiliated private school gave me a unique perspective on John Calvin and his teachings. There are many branches of Calvinism, and each teaches it slightly differently. However, I'll share how I remember it being explained to me by my mom, the preachers, and teachers in my life. Calvin didn't use the words \"fast-forward video.\" I use this analogy to help my readers better understand Calvin's doctrine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough deep Bible study, I arrived at views and opinions that are opposite to those of John Calvin. I believe that Calvin \"poached his flock\" and sold them \"empty shells.\" Throughout my book, I share many Bible verses and offer a fresh and hopeful perspective on the Bible. Unlike Calvin, I portray our Heavenly Father as very loving and show how much He loves us. Ultimately, each to their own beliefs. At the very least, I hope we can all agree that love is the answer - every time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":66537121120560,"sku":"BD1ihb","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/1ihb-Square-cover.jpg?v=1776608254","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-1ihb","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
