REVIEW
This book was very inspirational and uplifting. Author
Charles F. Stanley did an outstanding job in explaining our emotions and how we
can overcome negative emotions. He said that all the emotions we have
come from God. He explains that God could have just given us good healthy
emotions, but that He wanted us to experience fear and other negative emotions
that will make us rely on Him for everything. If we did not have
fear, we would walk upon rattlesnakes and bears and have no fear and they could
cause us harm.
Author Stanley also explains that God always provides a support
system for us. He says that the emotions we experience should lead us to
God in prayer. He further explains that we should take stock of our life,
commit ourselves to the Father’s plan, embrace who God says we are,
praise God, and then do the God’s work. He says that God is training us
to trust Him for all our needs, conform us to the character of Christ, and use
adversity to prepare us for ministry. Stanley also says that there are ten
terms for effective service: verbally, physically, patiently, gratefully,
generously, tenderly, forgivingly; devotedly, cheerfully, and honorably.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and give it 5 stars.
