Travis Bryan III epub Embracing The Cross: Life, the Law, and Loving the Lord in the Lone Star State

Few people have as informed a perspective on good versus evil as Judge Travis Bryan III. With nearly fifty years of experience in the criminal justice system--as a prosecutor, defense attorney, and since 2008 a district court judge for the State of Texas--Bryan has seen the struggle between right and wrong play out from all sides time and time again. Embracing The Cross contains a detailed account of Bryan's personal and professional life, defining not only what it means to be Texan--and kin to the "Father of Texas," Stephen F. Austin--but also what it takes to be a good son, brother, husband, father, legal counsel, and "Texas Aggie." In these pages, Bryan shares and analyzes his struggles to understand and keep at bay his own "sin nature." By conducting a years-long study of the Bible at the height of his professional career, Bryan discovered the most critically important tenet of the Good Book: Salvation is found at the foot of The Cross. "It is only through accepting our own death and resurrection," Bryan says, "that we are able to become one with God." A story unlike any other, Embracing The Cross offers insights into truth, justice, and the American way, as well as charting a Biblical path to Redemption and bringing our own lives into greater Spiritual alignment with our Heavenly Father.
