This is a Refocus Yourself book, with interesting Chapters like:
The True Nature of God
Is there Spiritual Abuse?
Humanity's Deepest Issue
God Believes in You
God Says You Have All Authority
Some of this will be brand new to some and for others its a refresher course with study question and answers at the end of each chapter. This would be good for independent growth and also for a study group. A "Where are you at?" check-up!
The areas that I found especially helpful were the fact that we need God's grace to carry out his commands, getting the mind of Jesus about our being the Bride of Christ. The chapter on Spiritual Abuse was very good. Just as a side note: I have also seen the abuse in the reverse where the congregation has spiritually abused their pastors and church leaders too. I know for this book that wasn't a part of it but that's okay because the author was talking about a different area of spiritual abuse.
This was something I also put in my notes as I read:
"Many Christians assume that the kingdom of God will only flow through religious leaders
and those that look real shiny on the outside. But, Jesus described what a kingdom person looks like and what they desire. Jesus said that the kingdom of God and its power would move through people who are broken, mourning, and hungering and thirsting for righteousness."
I received this e-book free from Destiny Image Publishers for an honest review.
