Book Reviews of 101 Amazing Things About God
Book Review: #102 = Marks Mixes Mirth With Serious Theology
Summary: 4 Stars
There is an error in Marsha Marks' math. She counts 101 amazing things about God. I counted 102. That 102nd thing is her ability to mix mirth and serious theology that points the reader closer to God.
"101 Amazing Things About God" sets forth a verse, an idea and some comment. Sometimes that comment is a short essay or anecdote. Each is numbered.
It is a gentle book on the surface, with small, but challenging messages.
#63 tells us that God is maker of great maps. That's the title. Then the comment is, in this case, a poem about God showing her the way. The verse is Psalm 119:32, "I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free."
The anecdotes are sometimes very personal, about her fears or inadequacies. Each can be read in a few minutes, with the longest taking about fifteen minutes.
Who should read this? It isn't heavy philosophical theology; it's accessible. I'd feel comfortable giving copies as gifts for Christmas to teens on up. Mine will end up as bathroom reading material, to encourage any visitors.
It is like a light version of "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers This does not mean shallow. It is just that Marks very practically applies Christian Scripture to everyday life. There is nothing shallow about that.
I fully recommend "101 Amazing Things About God," by Marsha Marks.
