This book is filled with creative and fresh insights in presenting the not only the truth of Scripture but how it applies to everyday life. Jesus used everyday images and all the senses to create mental images to relay information about Himself. Heather Holleman encourages the reader to not only treasure God's Word, but to understand how vital and life giving it is to every part of our lives. Some of the reasons we need to internalize God's Word are to awaken and build faith, to give us hope, to mature us, to teach us God's promises, to sanctify and cleanse us and to lead us to Jesus Christ to name a few. The beautiful cover of this book is Tintern Abbey, an image of worship, peace and refuge. It also helps the reader to begin to focus on developing mental cues of the catapult, the moat, the window, the arm and the win shot of Jesus. The author describes each of these images and is vulnerable in sharing her life struggles and journey along the way. I especially appreciate the way Scripture is interspersed throughout the book. The author does a wonderful job of creating beautiful images and demonstrating how to apply those images along with Scripture in everyday living.
There is a list of questions at the end of each chapter entitled,, "Stirring the Soul" which lends the book well for individual, one on one, or group study. This is a beautifully written book.. I highly recommend this book for any believer in Christ who desires to feel the love and peace of Christ in new ways.
I received this book from Moody Publishers for this review.
