Let’s face it, as a Christian sometimes we still have questions, and this book helps provide answers to some of those questions. It is insightful and illustrates how we must cooperate with the Holy Spirit in order to achieve victory.

In order to escape from the tentacles of Satan, we have to be willing to reach out and work with the Holy Spirit. Victory only comes through God. In order to be saved we have to believe Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God and came to die for our sins. The Scriptural references in this book provide an excellent basis for the message behind this book.

The only way to achieve eternal life is through Jesus Christ, and this book emphasizes that point. The author writes in a straight-forward and understandable way. The message is clear as is the ultimate result of believing on Jesus Christ.

So check out this book for yourself.

Right away I knew I was going to have trouble reading this book. I don’t remember anywhere in the Bible where it said that, “ every sin must be punished before God could forgive us.” I do know that Jesus paid the price for our sins and He has forgiven us. I began to see a pattern in the book. To get his point across the author will quote a scripture then turn around and repeat it over again . The book is very unorganized and the thought process is not completed throughout the book.
I did like that the author included many scriptures and it did help me follow along a little of what he was trying to point out. Some things the author says, I do not agree with and I caution others as you read the book to be mindful of what is being said.
The book is definitely geared toward The Seventh Day theology and the author quotes from authors who follow this doctrine. I did keep an open mind while reading the book, but time after time I found it didn’t line up with the Bible. The author talks about other religions and how they have been deceived. He goes on to say the reason people don’t talk about religion to each other is because they “are unprepared to defend their beliefs.” I think that is a bold statement to generalize everyone and say we are unprepared. There is a way to discuss religion in a loving way and still disagree with others. I’m not one to take offense when someone disagrees with my beliefs. What I do is direct them to scripture and allow The Holy Spirit to speak to them.
When I came upon this statement from the author, “The Cross reveals a bloodthirsty God,” I had to pause for a minute. What did I just read? I have not ever for one moment thought the Cross was anything but freedom from sin, forgiveness and grace. What I found most disappointing was the bashing of other religions in order to prove the author’s point. I can’t recommend this book to anyone but I will leave it up to readers to decide for themselves.
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.… (más)

We are being tricked into thinking that the best way to fill a pond is to push water uphill, in other words victory is unattainable. The author has done an in depth study of why and how victory is not that elusive thing we seem to think it is, but actually very easy. We need only be ready to seriously follow God’s counsel and instruction and we will have victory! It is a total commitment and not a perfect performance.

I will admit it took me several days to read this book as it the depth of thinking involved frequently sent me in other directions. I have not yet gleaned all I could from this book, but I have learned once again that the fruit we bear reveals the God or god we worship.
