Book Review: Forward - Courtesy Of Struik Christian Media

-
Forward is about looking ahead and Dr David Jeremiah is quite impressive with his story-telling. He uses true life stories to bring out fresh perspectives that are truly Biblical in nature.

Ten chapters makes this book an easy read but make no mistake, one has to read to understand. One of my favourite chapters is four: Focus. It's amazing what we miss out on when we're not focused, but please don't take my word for it. You have to read the entire book.

Forward is a book that enlightens the reader along with scripture about letting go of the past, hurt and even people that hinders the journey ahead. We don't move forward alone either, God gives us the opportunity to move ahead with others who are going along on the same journey.

At the end, he makes a profound statement saying that although the book is named FORWARD, he hopes that the reader will also be able to look UPWARD. For that is the hope-filled end result. One can always look forward but if it doesn't lead you upward then you aren't moving forward at all. 

It's a lovely book, because moving forward must enable you to look up. 

"I don't know how to advise you on student debt because everyone's case is different. But I have one thing to say: education is important, but the most important school is absolutely free - the school of the Bible. Think of God offering free scholarships to anyone who wants to study His word! The wisest people on earth are those who are students of God's Word. All you need is a willingness to open its pages each day, pray for insight, and learn how to study it. The time you spend in God's Word is an investment in both eternal and internal wisdom." (Page 136)

Happy reading and many 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
