This book was recommended by Praying Medic on his Twitter account when the Kindle version was $0.99. I started reading it yesterday and couldn’t stop. I am at a point where I could hear the Holy Spirit in me but I keep looking for more, for even closer contact with God and Jesus and for the last few weeks have been wondering how far I could go. Then came this revealing book of how God intensely pursues those of us who are willing and obedient to Him, to let Him do the driving and the subsequent blessings He showers on us. It’s not just your normal blessing of finances and employment. It includes the gift of healing, prophesy, visions, peeks of God’s feelings and perspectives, and His immense love for everyone of us open to Him. As I read, I looked up each bible verse and the context especially from Paul’s epistles and for the first time, I understand how constrained Paul was in his replies to the churches. If only he didn’t have to deal with the spiritual immaturity and the church matters, he could have expounded so much more on what God wanted to bestow on us – the mystery of the Kingdom of God. Oh how I wished the bible was longer. But on the other hand, after reading this book, I now know that all we need to do is ask the Holy Spirit, Jesus and God to show us.
This book comes at a most opportune time. If you are searching how faith works, Jeremy wrote an explosive chapter on it. I’m buying a hardcopy for my new born-again Christian son. I want him to bypass all the sin and brokenness talk and go straight to the source – God – who lives in us now.
I suggest an alternative online store if you are buying the hardbacks. Alibris sends out their books almost immediately and has way faster service than the other big online store and at times, Alibris sends $1 to $3 coupons for you to redeem. I’m switching. Or you could buy directly from the author.
