The Penny Toss: Diving Deeper in Your Relationship with God and Experiencing the Reward

In this spiritual growth resource for individuals and small groups, God's word is communicated in a clear and engaging manner that enables readers to gain a greater understanding of God and reach new depths in their relationship with Him. If you feel stagnant in your relationship with God, or as it's worded in the book, "stuck at surface-level", this book is for you. Author, Grant Roth, summarizes his book by saying "During my early teens, there was a game we would regularly participate in at the local swimming pool called “The Penny Toss”. To prepare for this game, the lifeguards would pour a large plastic bag full of pennies into the deeper end of the swimming pool. After the pennies had sunk to the bottom of the pool, the participants would dive into the water to retrieve the sunken coins. When all the pennies were collected, each participant would exchange their pennies for the corresponding amount of Tootsie rolls. If we wanted to enjoy the reward of Tootsie rolls, it was necessary that we dive deep into the pool. The basic premise of the book is based on that game we played at the local pool. If the readers and myself wish to experience the rewards that come along with a close and personal relationship with God, then we must first dive deeper in our relationship with Him. Unsurprisingly, this raises the question 'How do we dive deeper in our relationship with God?' Each chapter consults scripture to develop a memorable principle that answers that pressing question." A healthy blend of humor, thought-provoking illustrations, emotion-packed personal testimonies, and sound exegesis of scripture provide an opportunity for The Penny Toss to make a lasting impact on the life and faith of readers.
