I had every intention of reading this book and writing an honest review but it expired before I had the chance. My apologies, If you like to resend it to me I would be happy to get it reviewed,
"When God had finished making the universe, He sat back and looked at what He had done. Then He said, “It is very good.”
He made it just as He intended it. Nothing was wasted; nothing was out of place. It was perfect.
I realize that not long after, according to the Bible, sin came along and messed up God’s original intentions for the universe. Humans, aided and abetted by the devil, allowed their own pride and self-will to spoil the perfect relationship God had with His creation. But the principle still applies: nothing God has designed is wasted. This is true in our lives when we are pursuing God’s will. Nothing—loss, discouragement, joy, victory, achievement, failure, illness, success—that we gain or
experience during the journey is ever wasted. It all has a purpose. Everything becomes a stitch in the grand tapestry God is weaving, throughout time and eternity. And you and I—our lives, our hopes, our dreams, our victories, and our defeats—are part of that grand design."
Wise, witty book with lot of insights and well-aimed advice. We live in the broken world and the fight good vs. evil is real. The encouragement to fight the good fight is needed and the author can give his hand in this issue well.
Mr Wilson is a very gifted narrator (speaker) as he can use very concise comparisons, stories and examples.
Mr Wilson shows the reader the way - to look at the face of God constantly - but not in the preachy way. His words are honest yet warm, well-thought and practical help. He obviously knows quite enough about pain and fear to understand the stumbles on the way.
Solid, serious, yet engaging and encouraging tone can add some balm and also some fuel to your fights and your way with God.
I have been quite inspired by this book, and I am not saying this lightly.
