Finished this one recently and came away with several takeaways—beginning and ending with keeping Christ, not myself, on the throne in my life.
Thanks for the recommendation, Jason.

100 % inspiring and uplifting because Bright made me cry!
This book goes into detail about the Holy Spirit and how every Christian can resist the enemy in thought and action. The twelve chapters not only moved me but it also reminded me of the greater purpose we are all living for–to live a life loving and serving God. And by no means am I (or any other Christian) perfect once we surrender ourselves to Him. We feel temptation, anger, laziness, etc every minute of every day. But we must remember to yield our lives to God, inviting Christ to be on the throne of our lives (instead of the flesh) every moment in our walk with the Lord. Doing so, we will receive power to live His way and be filled with love and joy and of course, all of the fruits of the spirit!
Now THAT is the secret of a life of purpose and power.

Добра книга.
Просто дві цитати:
"Бог нас создал со свободой выбора, и мы можем выбирать, подчиняться или не подчиняться Ему. Он хочет, чтобы мы повиновались Ему по своему выбору, а не по принуждению. Таким образом, если мы подчинимся Ему, Он поведет нас. Если мы решим согрешить, Он нам позволить это".
"Если вы чувствуете себя вдали от Бога, как вы думаете, кто отодвинулся?"

Some very helpful encouragement on the practical side of the Christian faith, but some questionable theology.
