LONGWOOD, FL-Almost from the time Adam was formed from the dirt and sin entered the world, irreverent behavior toward God has been a catastrophe. After searching the Scriptures to find answers to this ongoing problem, author John Langston III concludes that we are, as the title of his book indicates, Not Far from the Dirt! Avoiding Irreverent Behavior in the Presence of the Holy God (paperback, 978-1-60477-328-6).
According to Langston, the book is a series of biblical messages that teach reverent behavior before God, showing real spiritual maturity and how to live in accordance with His will and purposes. It renews the truth that God is God and we are created beings, made by His hand and for His glory. "The Bible is our guidebook on how to live in accordance to God's will and purposes," says Langston. "Avoiding irreverent behavior is high on the list of relational interaction with the Almighty God. That is one thing that cannot be overlooked in the Christian life. This book reveals the truth about reverent behavior and a healthy fear of the creator God."
The author believes the book is relevant because of the spiritual emptiness of the days in which we are living. His experience as an international missionary for more than 30 years, including training national pastors, has made him more aware of this emptiness.
John L. Langston III is the president of TMA Ministries and a visiting seminary professor in South India, Trinidad, and Guyana, South America.
