My thoughts-
I thought this was a book that many people will enjoy and learn from. Although the writing of this book seems disrespectful at times, it is easy to understand and it helped me delve into the book of John.
I liked the questions at the end of each chapter. When books have questions at the end of each chapter, I learn and remember more. I do wish that the large group of verses mentioned at the beginning of each chapter had been in the book. It’s easier to refer back to verses when they are in the book.
I liked the subject of each chapter. They began “Life is About,” then continued with subjects such as:
- Dismantling barriers
- Being set free
- Seeing the light
- Living by God’s timing and purpose
- Moving with the Spirit
- Expanding one’s vision
I would recommend that you read this book, but remember to study your Bible and come to your own conclusions.
