1 Original Love

Reconciled (Review of 'The Nearness of God')

I have just finished reading a wonderful book! How Precious to Know the Presence of my Lord is based on a sermon by Elder Gavin Devlin from Australia, who is always active in the vineyard of the Lord despite his age. He emphasized more from his personal experience that indeed God's desire is to be near His children always, and that He has never changed since the beginning as a result of His Agape Love.

untied the Gordian knott of the world view on Gods

Simple refreshing and perilous to not know or understand. After years of being brought up by communistic ideologies of my father {eye for eye and retribution]  and then christian values [turn the other cheek] of my mother, I was stumped with apparent contradiction in the bible and Gods methods in dealing with “errors”.  This book systematically untied the “Gordian knott” of the world view on Gods methods in dealing with way ward children and brought a peace and practicality into my experience like I cant express.  It revolutionised on how I interact at home, work and with those who I perceive to be in error. It lifts ones concept of love to such a tremendous level, you feel challenged and rewarded at the same time.  A  solution to the unrest in our souls today. I was so impressed I have given out 4 case loads of this book already.
