The Unseen Essential part 1, by James P. Gills, M.D.
Oh my goodness I cannot tell you how much I loved this book. The last few chapters gave me the misty eyes and I actually cried in the last chapter.
This book and the lessons that it teaches just makes great sense! It was a treasure and a pleasure to read.
All of the characters and the story line fit so well in this book:
Michael
Stephanie
Michelle
Stephen
Dale
Kathryn
Pat
Ralph
Jed
Sandy (my favorite)
Maggie
Caleb (my main man and favorite as well)
Pastor Fontaine
To escape the human cycle of unbelief of sin, poor self esteem, independence, egotism, and criticism we have to embrace the Divine cycle of Faith love, sons of God, dependence, humility, and compassion.
I am so grateful to have come across this book. It gave me a whole new outlook on my past, present and I have a pretty good road map for my future.
I will put into practice what was mentioned in this book regarding the Unseen Essentials: FAITH
1. Agreement – Agreement with God and His Word in its entirety is the first step.
2. Dependence – True dependence involves joyfully enduring those maturing years and clinging to Jesus
3. Trust – abandoned trust poses a difficult challenge for most of us, choosing to surrender to God’s perfect process when we do not have to.
4. Oneness – oneness with God culminates the fourth step of faith. Walking daily with Jesus, agreeing, depending, and trusting is the most blessed friendship anyone can ever have.
Dr. Gills really has a way with his books, I am looking for part 2 of this set, READ THIS BOOK YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
It was very rich in Biblical lessons and practical instructions for the Christian daily life and conduct!
