This review is from: Mere Morality: What God Expects from Ordinary People (Paperback)

Smedes has written a book on the 5 moral commandments and does a decent job arguing his point. I enjoyed the topic and appreciate his attention to detail.

This review is from: Mere Morality: What God Expects from Ordinary People (Kindle Edition)

Book is good but the kindle ebook font is hard to read. It is not regular font. Some are clear some are fade out.
