religion and spirituality

Do not read this book if you are fully satisfied with your Christian walk. But, if you are like me, and sure that you still have plenty of room to grow read Seizing your divine moment. It will challenge you to take your faith to a whole new level. As other reviewers have noted, this book can be dangerous because it will make you take a very hard look at how you are living for the Kingdom of God.

Weaving the story of Jonathan and his armor bearer attacking the Philistine army, Erwin McManus will challenge you to do the same. Not only does he suggest that you take the battle to the enemy, but he thinks that you should lead the charge. If you do God will move with you, others will follow, and those Christians who have fled for the hills may come to your aid. Wow - that is a pretty big challenge to think about.

Personally, this book has caused me to do some focused thinking about my role in God's Kingdom. If it will get you to do the same, it is worth the read. I highly recommend this book to all Christians who can hear God calling them to a higher place, but are not quite sure how to get there. If you are a happy Christian comfortable in the safe place where you are - do not read this book. It may just cause you to pick up the sword and start your own battle.

While I have Erwin's previous book, I have not read it. But I happened to see this book on the shelf of my local bookstore and thought "Why not". I am very glad I did.

He works through a passage from Samuel and develops for the reader "The Jonathan Factor". He looks at the life of Saul's son Jonathan and he attacked and defeated a band of Philistine soldiers all on his own - and how the actions he took awoke the Israelite Army to fight the battles God had already told them they would win.

He focuses on not missing the divine opportunities that come our way - always be looking. And to not forget that those opportunities require risk, uncertainty, faith, and can mean great impact and influence on others.

I was awakened myself in some areas, encouraged in others and flat out challenged in others.

Read and enjoy...you'll not be sorry

...anybody could be so gullible as to accept this gibberish! amazing...and to think ERWIN (who should find some time and do a little research first) is actually making money off you poor souls! oh, the pity. I give it a one, but only because it has print in it.
