This paragraph sums up the main message of the book....
"As awe of Jesus expands, fears of life diminish. A big God translates into big courage. A small view of God generates no courage. A limp. puny, fireless Jesus has no power over cancer cells, corruption, identity theft, stock-market crashes, or global calamity. A packageable , portable Jesus might fit well in a purse or on a shelf, but He does nothing for your fears. "
We all know people who seem to focus on the many bad & horrible things that COULD happen. The nightly news is a major culprit to fear, that's how they get you to stay tuned beyond the commercial. This book addresses that & could be very helpful & freeing for fear motivated people.
I just got this with someone in mind...I have actually never read any of his books...heard lots of quotes.
ReplyDeleteI saw this as one of those available on the book review place too. Thanks for giving an honest opinion on it. Glad I didn't pick it too.
