| Publisher Description: Popular author J. Ellsworth Kalas has a few things he'd like to share. In I Bought a House on Gratitude Street, Kalas imparts insights gathered over the years through different means - "Some . . . have come to me by my seeking, some have been shared with me by people of wider experience, and some have been thrust upon me by my mistakes." With his familiar style, Kalas shares life-lessons on matters of friendship, prayer, sin, and success all through the lens of Scripture. A discussion guide is included for small-group use. |
