BOOK REVIEW: LEARNING
FROM THE MASTER – LIVING A SURRENDER LIFE
I had the pleasure to
review a powerful, hand on and practical hand book, Learning From
The Master – Living A Surrender Life by Laura J. Davis. We
live in times full of uncertainties, fear, doubts and challenges, learning and
adopting the value of surrender is nearly impossible if not for God’s grace.
This book will provide you the required tools both to overcome fear and gain
trust in God simultaneously.
I reviewed this workbook
solely without reference to the novel and I receive it as my only remuneration
for my independent review.
This is a well-designed
workbook, which invite us throughout the book to scrutinize our own lives and dig
deeper into our hearts to a new discovery that brings us closer to the Saviour. Laura
J. Davis does a magnificent job for directing, nurturing and nourishing
us in living surrendered lives, based on love and respect.
I subscribe to similar
formulae i.e. trust, obedience and
submission, to strengthen my faith which was not the case prior to
acceptance of Jesus into my life. Through
trials and tribulations, God strengthen my faith and caused me to submit to Him
voluntarily out of His grace. By knowing my true self deeply and thoroughly, I
am able to solve whatever challenge in my life through Christ who strengthens
me. This is because there are no challenges, even when combined, larger than Him
inside us, provided I surrender to Him.
Laura J. Davis is a firm believer of living a surrendered
life, illustrated with numerous compelling and captivating scripture’s stories that
truly convinced and convicted me before she raised the relevant and material
questions at the end of each chapter. By doing so, we are able to see and connect
to this scripture so that we are not side tracked. Here, she relates the real
life of Joseph in this context.
"Learning From
The Master - Living A Surrender Life" is a practical, hand on work book
which serves wide and diverse needs especially for those who want to gain
the highest, deepest and broadest perspective on how to live a life
surrendered to God. It is not meant to persuade or dissuade you – it’s meant to
inform, ingrain and inspire you in gaining appropriate and broad
perspectives in such a life.
Her approach is also possible
with statements like:
“It can only be done
through the work of Holy Spirit and
a person’s willingness to surrender to the Lord’s will.”
To know more, please
grab hold of the book immediately and read it from the horse's mouth. Well done
and I pray that Lord will continue to use her mightily for His will, Amen.
