Rating out of 5 stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I started in July 25 and finished
in August 14 taking 21 days. This book appeared very sweet to me. It was a
devotional, thoughtful, challenging and practical book that would surely help
us to examine ourselves. It deals with important topics of Christian life that
we often forget to consider while delving too much into theology, apologetics
or worship.
Often time, we forget to examine
ourselves. We forget to look up what God’s word has to say about our everyday
life. We often think, once we become Christians, we are done. We forget about
Christian journey and many considerations that we should have taken while
living our life. This book provides pretty helpful insights on some of those
areas. With Biblical doctrinal explanations, it provides us challenging
messages and questions to revise ourselves.
The author has shown the practical
aspect of Christianity and challenges us to live according to it. Truly, the
contents are well written and explained with sound scripture and examples that
would bear fruits in our private spiritual life. It bothers us to think about
practical areas of our applying our faith besides our unnecessary enrollment in
theological arguments and worship without foundation. The author’s plain motive
is encouraging us to check our walk with God.
We may engage in big apologetic
seminaries and discussing big topics to defend our faith or we may engage in
Charismatic activities to allow peoples to stand still in their spiritual
revival and build up their spiritual gifts. However, if we fail to be a practical
Christian by heart then all our so-called heavy works might go wasted. If we aren’t
in right track, it contributes nothing. Our works may benefit others but we
might deceive ourselves. We might ruin at the end.
Every Christians should consider
reading this book and putting oneself in examination so that they may turn to
right track with God while it’s not late. The author has presented topics in
such a pleasing manner that the book can be used in devotional Bible study.
Finally, I am thankful to have this
book and in my recent days of spiritual trials, God has really spoken to me
through this book! I have received a great challenge by realizing we have great
deals of topics to revise and examine ourselves in light of practical
Christianity.
