“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will direct your paths." On almost every Christian’s list of favorite Scripture passages, Proverbs 3:5&6 condenses God’s will for each one of us. We are to trust completely in our Savior and Lord, walking by faith in His Word and not by sight in our own sinful, selfish understanding. We are to come to know God intimately as we grow in Him, and as He places our feet on paths of life pleasing to Him, we enjoy the peace that passes all understanding. Using many Scripture passages and references, Bob answers the question, “Why is Proverbs 3:5&6 so meaningful to so many?" Written down by Solomon thousands of years ago as he was guided by God’s Spirit, Proverbs 3:5&6 comes alive in today’s world as Bob reveals these short twenty-nine words as truly “The Distilled Essence of the Christian Life."
Reading this book has brought many things into a better understanding, but has also brought about questions. This book is a great tool for Bible Study when one is trying to build their relationship with God and learning how to truly lean on God instead of oneself. Definitely worth taking the time to read.
The author gives depth to these verses. Each phrase is explained. I especially liked the acronym for prayer: ACTS. Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication.
This book is an in-depth study of 2 well-known verses in the Old Testament of the Bible. It's great for personal Bible study. I look forward to reading more by this author.
