Being in the wilderness is not a bad thing and sometimes God leads us there to speak to us for a time of growth. This sometimes weeds out the saints from the aints. In your darkest hours God does have a master plan. Learn and understand the power of praise and worship. Read this book to recognize the difference between the voice of God and the tricks of the enemy. Learn how to enjoy the walk through the wilderness as a time of triumph not of distress.

This book is a helpful handbook for a struggling Christian. It has three bonus sections: Woman Thou Art Loosed (specifically for women of course); Can You Stand to be Blessed? and Naked and Not Ashamed. Recommended.

Short but powerful

One of the stand out quotes: "Things go to the wilderness to die." This has been my experience in my wilderness journey. Things that could not go with me to the promise land had to die and fall away in the wilderness. A difficult, sometimes seemingly impossible journey, but God goes with you. This book brings these truths to light. Good easy, yet profound read.

Wilderness before promised land

Basically this is a holistic growth book, the content was about wilderness is not that bad. Maybe bad for us now, but its needed for the promised land. The author argue that if you want to get the victory, you must be willing to go through the wilderness. it is not always easy to get the victory because it belongs to the other side of the wilderness.

Good Bible devotional study

This was a good Bible devotional study on the topic of water in the wilderness. I could relate to much of what was taught. Now, to go and dig some ditches! I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, but it did not in any way affect my review. All opinions are my own.

Water in the Wilderness

First book I have read of T D Jakes. A very enlightening author. I have not listened to a Pastor I have enjoyed so much since my Pastor Chuck Smith went home to be with the Lord

A book for everyone to read.

This book is easy to understand. You don't have to be a genius, it is written for the average person. There is a lot of material here to make a person think.

Learning more about our Father God

An enlightening book that helps us understand more about transforming from a lost person to becoming a child of God.

[Ivy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely some good quotes and made me think, but writing style wasn't my favorite. Would probably be better as an audiobook.

Personal message

It felt like Jakes was preaching to me. Encountering God in the wilderness has strengthened my faith. I know I am a child of the Most High.

Water

A very insightful word about thirst for the word. I gleaned several wisdom keys that will apply to my everyday faith in Christ Jesus.
