Book Review: God Where Are You?! - Courtesy Of Struik Christian Media

-
John Bevere strikes at the heart with this book. At the outset I must add that this book is a must for every Christian. It has certainly resonated with me.

Relating through personal experiences, He explains the processes of being in the wilderness using scripture in its rightful context. Whatever the circumstances many Christians find themselves in the wilderness. For some, it may be a season of much difficulty in finding the purpose of life. For others, it can be a time when life becomes too much to handle. But ultimately the wilderness experiences has one particular goal and that is to be drawn closer to God.

He explains that no matter how hard it may seem, one should never quit because in those very moments God is building us to become stronger through being equipped to do his will.

The author teaches that the wilderness may be a dry place but if we pursue God and never give up, He will reveal His will to us. It is a place where our hidden faults(sins) are revealed to us. It is the place where we learn that God is most important than anything or anyone else around us. The book teaches us to be fully dependable upon God for everything unlike the culture of our day that teaches self-sufficiency is enough. We learn who God truly is, in those dry seasons of life.

It is a beautifully  crafted book. The best part is that it makes so much sense simply because the author himself has grown in those very moments of his wilderness seasons. 

This book is on my list of top ten books of all time. Personally, this book has taught me some good lessons aswell. This book will surely teach the reader how God operates at certain points in our lives and of how He disciplines us as His children, instead of blaming people and the devil all the time. 

I've shared some quotes from this book with others and it has certainly been a tremendous encouragement. 

"Everything that God has done in the past, is doing now, and will do in the future will be for that reason. So, the purpose of the wilderness is to point us in the direction of being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ." (Page 178)


Please do get a copy and happy reading!

Much Blessings,

Shane

For It Has Been Granted To You...(Part Two)

"For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake" [Phil 1:29] Part 2 We saw from part 1 of this series that many people have not only designated themselves editors of God’s word but that this editing ill-prepares them and the churches they lead for hard times. But how can one escape the teaching about suffering from Genesis through to Revelation? Which of God’s servants has not been through difficult times? Which of them has not endured hardship like a good solider of Jesus? The greatest of them went through thick and thin, and though they may have failed at some stage in life, their hearts were fully given to the Lord nonetheless.  People love the success of Abraham, Joshua, Moses, Elijah, Jeremiah, the apostles; John, Peter, and Paul to name a few of God’s servants but they do not want to look at what they went through for them to be victorious. How I wish everyone had a copy

Book Review: Beyond Blessed - Courtesy Of Struik Christian Media

A brave book indeed! My initial thought when I picked this book up was that it was going to be just like every other 'Christian' book out there on finances.  But to my surprise, that whilst the central theme is finance, the author talks more about other aspects surrounding finance which leads up to good financial habits. He addresses the issues on carrying too much debt and even budgeting.  It's a great all rounder, that covers all basic necessities of the financial arena from a thorough Biblical perspective. There is a companion book that was written before this one called ' The Blessed Life.' I managed to get a copy of it at a book sale, but haven't had the opportunity of reading it yet. But will get around to it soon, hopefully.  I would suggest getting a copy of this book. In fact every family should have a copy of it. There are other brilliant books out there but this one is on my top ten list when it comes down bettering our finances from a pur
