Ernie Heavin Holds Book Signing at
LRC.

Ernie signing a copy of his new book. |
Ernie Heavin,
author of, Living by the Power of Faith: an Unique
Study from the Book of Romans, recently held a book
signing at the Georgetown College library on October 16th.
Heavin, who has been in ministry for 24 years, is pastor
of the Oasis Church of Christ and a volunteer chaplain
for Georgetown College and Chik-Fil-A (Hamburg branch,
Lexington, KY). In addition to his long list of
ministry work, Heavin is one of Georgetown College’s
very own employees (periodicals manager in the LRC).
In his book,
Living by the Power of Faith, Heavin uses clear
language to examine the Good News of Jesus Christ as
presented by Paul's letter to the Romans, over the
alternatives that lead people away from it. Heavin
posits that many of us worry whether we are "working
hard enough" in our Christian walk, or whether we are
studying and praying enough, of if our church has
perfect doctrine. This book outlines how the Gospel
presented in Romans puts all of those questions to rest,
declaring that Jesus alone is sufficient for our needs.
You may contact Heavin at
Ernie_Heavin@georgetowncollege.edu for purchasing
information or to schedule a book signing.
