God’s Unlikely Path to Success
(How He Uses Less-Than-Perfect People) By Tony Evans as Reviewed by Pat Beaty
You will enjoy reading this book. The author uses a great deal of imagery and he strategically places interesting bits of Biblical information throughout the work that will pique your interest. At least it did mine. Rev. Evans states it is because of Moses and his rebound that he wrote this book for you.
The author does, however, give short biographies of not only Moses, but also Rahab, Jacob, Jonah, Esther, Peter, Samson, and Sarah in order to reinforce the premise of this book: “Never let your yesterday keep you from tomorrow—learn from yesterday; don’t just live in it.” These Biblical characters achieved success by “taking the leap of faith into the arms of grace.”
Pastor Evans uses a unique manner of writing, pointing to each character’s failing in his or her chapter title. He freely interweaves Biblical verses throughout. You will find his vernacular (common language) one that both you and he are very fluent in, as well as familiar with--the result being a very pleasant period of reading.
I was surprised at this author’s attention to details in a book of this size, and you will find the scripture index at the end of the work a considerable help.
P.S. May I also recommend a work of Christian fiction to you? “Scoop” by the very talented Rene Gutteridge.
