HOLDING FAST TO FAITH IN THE GRAY AREAS OF LIFEShould a Christian use Tinder…get a tattoo…or drink shots of tequila? Anyone who wants to live a life of grace needs to navigate the world’s gray lifestyle choices that may not be wrong, but could lead to sin. “The church has been plagued by two extremes when it comes to living a Christian lifestyle,” says author Bradley Truman Noel. “On one side, we have the serious folks adorned with a really impressive frown, who remind us of all the do’s and don’ts.…On the other end of the spectrum are folks who play fast and loose with the rules. They typically don’t spend too much time thinking about holiness, or wondering if their actions align with biblical teaching.” Both sides, Bradley says, miss the power of God’s grace in our lives. In Tinder, Tattoos, and Tequila, you will How to determine what’s sinful and what’s permissibleScriptural absolutes that apply to all believersWhy we should be eager to be holy in this lifeHow to navigate social media and video gamesBiblical principles that can guide every decisionWays to receive help from the Holy SpiritThe balance between understanding the law and practicing grace  Don’t let the world’s endless choices keep you from living the life of grace that God has for you!

excellent read

Dr. Bradley Noel has written such an amazing book that all followers of Jesus can use as a tool in navigating through the grey areas of faith (areas that aren’t quite black and white when reading through the Bible). He takes the time to unpack these grey areas by focusing on Scripture references, practical examples and leading the reader through five important questions to ask the Holy Spirit when trying to decide what to do. I would highly recommend this book to every Jesus Follower I know because I know that it will be so helpful in their faith journey. Job well done.

A very well-written book about making wise decisions as a Christian in those areas where there aren't any lines drawn in the sand. Easy to understand and if you grew up in the church in Newfoundland, you will really appreciate some of the author's anecdotes.

Bradley Truman Noel does a great job of guiding us through navigating the gray areas of faith. This book was a pleasure to read as it’s not overly academic while also including great quotes from fellow academics and scriptural verses. The best and most useful part is the five questions he encourages believers to ask themselves when navigating the gray areas. Well done.
