God's Perfect Timing: Surrender, trust in Him.
Without question, one of the hardest things to do is wait for Gods timing. In this fast-paced world in which we live, things are set up for maximum speed and efficiency.
Technology is now moving faster than ever before. Smartphones are so cutting edge that they allow news events to arrive seconds after they actually occur.
We are so used to everything moving at lightning speed, that we have a very hard time adjusting to the slower pace that God likes to work things out. Dazed and confused we look for answers in all the wrong places. Our life becomes directed by fear instead of faith. We grow disheartened. Our faith can weaken.
If you watch a seed grow you will not see much change from one day to the next. Although without water and care it will die. Faith is no different.
There are perfect times in your future when your life will blossom. All that God asks is for you to wait. When you learn to wait for God’s timing, your life will overflow with grace. Surely that is not for me?
Yes, it can be.
God has a perfect time to turn your life around. No amount of worrying or sleepless nights will change that time. Don't let the negative thoughts make you think otherwise. – Rev J Martin

God's Perfect timing
The book reminds us ,God is the giver of all graces and,we do not have any right to demand one. We can request and plead but cannot tell him to do it or give us what we pleaded at a chosen time. We have to keep on asking until He thinks it is time to grant it for our good! Faith and patience are required!
Rating: 4 stars

For a mini and condensed "How to" guide on patience, I found it rather inspiring. Waiting on the Lords work is one of my downfalls but the insight I gained from reading this book has proven very helpful to me. I may not be the most patient person but I now know enough to be able to relax further into my life and all that I've prayed for.
I'll be reading more work by this author, for sure.

Balls of stress
Aren't we all just balls of stress?! We worry so much. We stress so much. Even when we don't realize what we are doing and how it can affect our future. If we only trusted in God things would prevail according to His will. This was a good read and a nice reminder.

Reminder
For me this was a timely reminder that God has our best interests. We must learn to wait on His timing.

Good reminders
There were good reminders about faith, patience and trust but a bit repetitive. And it was shorter than I expected.

Patience
I read this eBook in Rotherham Hospital, whist awaiting treatment as an inpatient for heart problems. The subject matter was not new to me, having experienced the saving grace of God in September 1993, when following redundancy the Lord took control of my life and made a far better Job than I had done. I found my self retraining in I.T. , working for 50% of my previous salary, but without stresses or pressures, and with time to study the bible, whilst training in a Faith and worship course to qualify as a local preacher in the Methodist Church. It is good to remember again the lessons spelt out in this book, and rely totally on God's Timing. Thank you Rev J Martin

Timely
I'd recommend this book to young adults especially those recently graduated or transitioning jobs,careers or relationships. I can testify that waiting is HARD especially when it's going good for everyone around you but what rev Martin says about the character building and strength building is true. Faith and patience is what we ad believers need during our season understanding God's perfect timing.

Excellent Advice
I purchased this book at a very low point in my life. When I felt hopeless or depressed, I would always repeat, "God's Perfect Timing". After 3 years, God's timing arrived in a most incredible way, just as I'd prayed only better, and I have never been happier. I recently decided to purchase this for a friend going through hard times and I will purchase more in the future. Thank you to Rev. I Martin and, of course, God!

Encouraging words...
...and I was challenged to trust God more with my situations. I gave only three stars because, while the author uses Scripture to support his conclusions, it seems that the Scriptures should provide the conclusions for the author, not the other way around. There were also some punctuation errors and even incomplete sentences. A little more work needs to be done on this one.

Live in God's time
Wonderful message and encouragement! Trusting God, being patient on "his time. Life could have been and now can be so ... much easier. Less hurt, stress and failure. Recommend this book/reading to everyone. No matter where you are in life. I'll keep it in my library for reference in the future.

Fed my soul
This book was truly worth reading. Although it was short, it provided me with so much knowledge and discernment for things I am going through. Faith and patience are two key factors when living for God and wanting to live a peaceful life. This book was nothing short of amazing.

The message was good — nothing I haven’t heard before (but it’s always good to be reminded). I wish the performance of the audio-book would have been better. Granted, it’s a short book, but that doesn’t mean the quality should be poor. Also, would have preferred a man’s voice since it was written by a man. Details, details...

Great message
Quick read, but plenty of substance. If you are wondering when life is going to change, get better, read this book. Expecting things in my time, not God's, led to a pretty miserable existence. Using some of the practices and ideas in this book to learn to wait for God's timing is the answer

a must read
I really enjoy reading this book, and they really inspired me in regard to my mindset. From the stories that was provided and just a waste of behind, it really cause me to look at things differently.. A must read especially if you were battling anxiety, trusting God, and his timing.

Just what I needed to read
I have been trying to do everything on my time line & wondering why God wasn't helping me meet my goals. Reading this short but insightful book; reminded me - It's God Time Line not mines. It was a great rem to let God t was me charge & I will praise him while I patiently wait.
Thanks for the remibder.

helpful quick reminders for believers
I tend to vacillate between a quick powerful word wrapped within a narrative and something lengthy that feeds you because it provides a background for the entire experience being stated. Nonetheless, I found it refreshing and relatable to my own journey as a believer…

Very helpful book
This book was very helpful, and i have read countless of Rev J Martin's book, and they always hit hard with truths. One thing i learned is that God truly has our best interests at heart and had a perfect time. We know God has a tine for everything to take place, but knowing there's a perfect time is where we at time missed it.

Awesomeness! I needed these positive reminders!
I just chose to read this book on a whim. I believe God was directing me straight to it now that I've read it! Touched me very deeply! Thank You Lord for directing me to this book!
Hope everyone feels a warm and satisfied heart after reading it!

Timely reminder
As is noted by the author waiting can be hard, but to not be patient and see what God has planned is to live with the regrets of what might have been. Live a life regret free - trust in God's vision and timing.

Just what I needed
Thank you so much for scolding me. I knew what you were talking about and I did it anyway thoughtlessly. I am so greatful that Romans 8: 28, and are in the Bible reminding me He is con- forming us to His image. Thank you so much.
