Review of Jumping Hurdles - Hitting Glitches - Overcoming Setbacks


Jumping Hurdles- Hitting Glitches - Overcoming Setbacks
By Steve Brown

When you begin to read something by this author I'm sure you react as I did: "this irreverent pastor!! How does God put up with him?!!!" Then you duck the expected bolt of lightining and resume your perusal of (what turns out to be) worthwille and encouraging information. This man is a devout Christian; and his humorous style of writing serves to enhance his thoughtful offerings, rather than to detract from them.
 
"If you listen or read between the lines of lifes fine print, you can hear God whispering, talking, and sometimes shouting: I am here! All is well!"
 
In this particular effort by Rev. Brown , you will find a varying "hodge-podge" of anecdotes, thoughtful, sometimes moving true events, borrowings from other authors and other inclusions.
Are they helpful? By all means! Are they thought-provoking? You can bet your life on it. Do they inter-relate and pertain to your life as a believer? You can bet your life on it!!! and you should!!!...This work, as you delve into it, takes you beyond everyday Christian thought. It gives rise to meditation in a way you would never imagine; in other words it grabs you and, please forgive the poor grammar, you will not want to be let-go-of.
 
It is unbelievable the number of subjects this writer touches on. And he refers to the Holy Bible continuously. Oh, and one more thought: Don't overlook the section entitled, "The most important thing in the world".
 
Merry Christmas!
