Описание: Personal observations provided the inspiration for many of the details incorporated within the book. The descriptive stories depict a few of the myriad of possible sources for the discouragement scenarios, defense mechanisms, and attitudes. The stories illuminate some of the subtle but devious ways that doing what comes naturally damages and destroys personal relationships. Mission impossible becomes Mission Possible with Gods awesome guidance and power.
The book presents diamonds of truth from the Bible culminating in two main messages:
Live your faith so that others can see
true faith that reflects the presence of the Holy Spirit residing in you. Like a living human body without a soul is not possible, so also a genuine faith without good works is not possible. When your actions reflect good deeds, you have listened and acted in obedience. When your actions do not reflect good deeds, you have ignored, missed, or rebelled against the Holy Spirits guidance and directions (James 2:14-26.)
Reject your natural human tendencies to react by doing what comes naturally. God allows but does not condone our failures to live by His standards as described in the Bible. The Holy Spirit provides the power to bring us to repentance and obedience to Gods will and His ways. Jesus assures us that we abide in Him. His love for us is similar to a human parent but more perfect. He loves us without regard to our behaviors and delights in us when we choose obedience to His commands (John 15: .9-17.)
