Book Review: Living the Word of God
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book given to me and I highly recommend it. It is a quick read of a compact 128 pages but nonetheless very detailed. Pastor Gee does an excellent job of communicating bible truths that he has had to endure in the "dark night of the soul". The old saying "practice what you preach" takes on a whole new meaning in his second publication. He bares his soul in this work.
The devestation of losing two daughters at birth is nothing short heart wrenching. Pastor Gee gives his testimony of how God's grace is sufficient for us. He provides numerous biblical examples that explain that trails and tribulation are a part of the walk of true followers of Christ. These life experiences inevitably build character in God's way. A lack of immediate clear understanding of what God is doing in a particular season of our lives is also a part of the Christian life. He is correct to refute with biblical examples contemporary popular belief espoused in some theological circles that hold fast to the doctrine that big faith can be utilized as a means to a perfect life. On page 26, it says "......hardship that builds character is as much the work of God as are His great public exploits."
This book is also a biblical expose' on why bad things happen to good people. However, he explains that we must never forget the fact that God is very near in our times of trouble and he does ultimately bless His children. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has had to endure hardship such as death, divorce, illness or those who seek to understand God's sovereignty.
