The Chastening of the Lord: The Forgotten Doctrine This book celebrates God’s goodness to chasten. It will help you make sense of inexplicable trials, strengthen your resolve to endure, and reveal how chastening can qualify us for a higher entrustment in the kingdom. You’ll come through both healed and changed.
Bob Sorge is “the speaker who can’t talk”—that is, he is reduced to a whisper because of a debilitating vocal injury he suffered over 20 years ago. Through the journey, God has given him an empowering message that explores God’s purposes in fiery trials. It’s not the fire that changes you but your pursuit of God in the fire that changes you. Bob has a unique way of helping us process our journey so we stay in the race and overcome. Whether you’re reading one of his books or listening to him, you’re about to receive a message from the heart of God that will strengthen your faith and draw you into greater intimacy with Jesus.
This book is definitely a book that must be read “in season”. A lot of what Bob articulates in this book was spot on with my current walk in Christianity. This is eye opening as well as a book I recommend for those that “struggle” in seasons of silence. I give this book a 5/5. However, as a Christian if you are not in season with what this book discusses you will find it very difficult to follow along and understand.
I am in the midst of a series trials that I have been having a hard time understanding. This book has bolstered my hope in the good God that loves me and whom I love. Thank you for publishing this encouraging book.
