Book Review: A Simple Guide to Increasing your Faith
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchase this book 3 years ago after experiencing some hardship. The book was very encouraging about believe that no matter what you go through in life God is in control. Reminds you of God's word and how to apply it to your life. When I read this book, I feel comfort. I have purchased several copies and have pass them along to people who feel like given up on life and God. People tell me they just love the book. Highly recommend this book to anyone especially who need encouragement. Lastly, the pictures are beautiful and serene.Book Review: A great book for everyday or when life throws you a curve ball!
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally bought this book because of the title. My husband's job came to an end and my sister is going through a nasty divorce.I have highlighted & journaled my way through this short little book and I have purchased several additional copies to have on hand to share with others who are struggling. This book can apply to any of life's many struggles - including grieving. To know that God truly is in control of everything can makde the most difficult times a little bit better. This is a book that you will re-read for years to come. I recommend a copy for yourself and one or two to share. I hope my sister has read her copy!Book Review: A response to "Rover1" , who wrote a review on this book:
Summary: 5 Stars
Rover1 asks in his/her review if " God is in control of the abortionists hand as he rips the baby from the womb". The way he/she structured the question reminds me of the old Groucho Marx joke " have you stopped beating your wife?" It is a "no-win" question, and reveals Rover's misunderstanding of Christian theology.. If you say "yes", then God becomes an accomplice to murder(abortion). If you say "no", then God has no control. The question should be: Is it within God's will that the abortionist be given the opportunity to abort the baby?' This places the guilt on the proper shoulders ( the abortionist's) , but still recognizes God's omniscience/omnipotence. God does not want the abortionist to do it, but gives him the free will to make that choice. Of course, the abortionist must answer for his evil actions later, but that's a whole different theological topic.
Hope this clears up Rover's bad theology.

Summary: 5 Stars
I've never been disappointed in Dr. Stanley's books. This one is exceptional. Perhaps it is partly that I needed the reminder during a time of things seeming to go wrong. Our loving God never lets anything happen that He isn't in control of. He uses everything to benefit us. Don't dispair - God is in control.
