The 4 Wills of God by Dr Emerson Eggerichs

Here is the book summary:

Should you take the job? Quit the job? Begin a relationship? End a relationship? Move? Plant roots? 

How do we find God’s will for life's big decisions?

What if you had total freedom?

Emerson Eggerichs believes there is a clear answer to finding God’s will. The Bible itself reveals the clue--a secret hidden in plain sight.

Before launching his Love & Respect marriage ministry with wife Sarah, Emerson was a senior pastor for nearly 20 years in East Lansing Michigan. Before that, Emerson and a friend ran a free counseling center called “The Open Door” in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

As Emerson navigated his career he found both he and the people he was counseling were wrestling with big decisions and knowing if that decision was really what God wanted.

Immersing himself in God’s word for over 30 hours a week for 19 years, he discovered simple, clear truths that set him and many others free.

There is a starting point to discovering God’s Will for your next decision and for your entire life. Begin here to read stories of people in the same situations you face today. You’ll be able to discover the freedom you’ve been searching for, and then, like Emerson, you’ll help others find that freedom too.

And now, my review:

I received a hardcover copy of this book and my first response was breath-taking! It’s so nice!  The design and feel.  If you’re a tangible book feeler like me, you’ll love it!  As for the book, there is freedom in the Word and this author brings his basis for discovering the Will of God from the Scripture.  That’s refreshing and I found this book to be thought-provoking.  This book looks at where in Scripture is the Will of God mentioned and puts out a framework for checking life’s big and small decisions in light of these “4 wills”. 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Reading the Bible Supernaturally by John Piper

Here is the book summary:

Does it take a miracle to read the Bible?

God wrote a book, and its pages are full of his glory. But we cannot see his beauty on our own, with mere human eyes.

In Reading the Bible Supernaturally, John Piper aims to show us how God works through his written Word when we pursue the natural act of reading the Bible, so that we experience his sightgiving power—a power that extends beyond the words on the page.

Ultimately, Piper shows us that in the seemingly ordinary act of reading the Bible, something miraculous happens: we are given eyes to behold the glory of the living God.

And now, my review:

GLORY… What an awe-inspiring, breathtaking, indescribable thing…  And yet John Piper does a great job of guiding and directing in this written work of his to steer us to how God is showing us this throughout Scripture.  We need to be praying for God Almighty to be giving us eyes to see and ears to hear as we are diving deep into His Word, the Written Word of God.  John Piper sets the thought and then unpacks it as we works through his book.  Lots of Scripture references backing up what he is saying.  And once you are finished reading you can’t help but see His glory and the purpose of it all over the place, for His Glory!  I highly recommend this read!
