The Purposes Of Christ

http://www.bubblews.com/news/845541-the-purposes-of-jesus-christ

I am first and foremost a Christian and a man who has dedicated His life to spreading the Gospel.
2nd, I am an outdoors living, bushcraft skills and survival skills enthusiast and enjoy being in the woods and teaching skills. I do have a youtube channel where I teach said skills but decided to allow God to use those
skill sets as a way to reach out even more and spread His Word in even another fashion.

I have since created Bushcraft Disciples. A youtube channel for the Chrsitian outdoors-man and bushcrafter.

Here is the first video of many more to come.

Are You As Close To GOD As You Are To My Bumper - Book Review

Book Review of: Are You As Close To GOD As You Are To My Bumper

 by Patricia Edwards

Author Patricia Edwards had recently sent me a copy of her book entitled; Are You As Close To GOD As You Are To My Bumper?  

The subtitle of her work is, “A collection of personal memoirs on faith”.

When I first received this book, and subsequently judged it by its cover, I expected it to be a book of Ms. Edwards exhorting on reasons why she believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and why she holds the faith that she holds in her heart. Now, this is not necessarily a bad case or thought of “judging a book by its cover”, but none the less it was my first thought. The thought simply originated from the fact that there are hundreds upon thousands of books on the market that are well written testimonies of one’s faith. This judgment was in fact wrong though but for the better.

This book is not a collection of the authors own thoughts on faith but alternately is a collection on other persons stories of faith that helped fuel and maintain a stronger faith in Christ for the author. This is a method of sharing of one’s faith that I have not yet personally read in a book.

Ms. Edwards’s thoughtful selection of the accounts of individual faith has created a book that can catch the attention of people in many walks of life. Each story is a different human, a different soul, a different life story and a different situation. It is not simply a walk of faith through one heart or one set of eyes but a flash book of many lives. The stories are life events in the subjects lives that they have personally shared with the author which in turned helped foster her strong development of faith. Selflessly wanting to help others develop their walk with the Lord as well she took those life changing stories and shared them with her readers.

Each chapter was a refreshing new story of individuals struggling or lost in faith finding Christ and His salvation and regenerating power through many situations, circumstances and ways. You don’t just trudge through this book from beginning to end in one life story but find yourself renewed in enjoyment learning of others victories in various struggles.

I personally believe any reader will find one, two or even many more of these unique and different lives displayed resembling their own and in turn helping the reader foster new victories or build a stronger faith and relationship with Christ. I myself even took personal lessons and even seen myself in one of the chapters as the subject seemed to be a direct resemblance of my own life in almost every detail. You could have inserted my name, changed a few facts and it could have been about me!

The fact that I 1, enjoyed reading the individual stories 2, had my own life personally reflected in one of the stories and 3, was reassured of my own victories in this book enables me to recommend this book to anybody that claims Christ is in their hearts. This book would also make a great gift or a means to reach out to friends, family members or somebody you are concerned about and desire to bring to the Lord.

I am thankful that Ms Edwards sent me this book and I am able to provide a very positive review of her work.
