- another excellent book to come alongside the Bible to guide us to fall in love with 'the God Jesus knows' - the phrase use in the book. More than often I am lost by too many directives (people and books) on which God to listen to, to follow, to obey and to trust. James with the training and mentorship of several seasoned leaders in Christian spiritual formation, provides a simple yet sufficient push to reconnect us back to our good and beautiful God.
Our God is humongously humongous and infinite that it is unthinkable to know Him. But in His great mercies and grace, He has revealed Himself to us in many ways. So it is good for our souls to slowly but surely experience God one step at a time. God has given us eternity. And so James provides the framework for our seeking and begins with lesson One - God Is Good.
After each lesson is a Soul Training section where it is an application part to the lesson to put into practice lessons learnt and journal down notes and also for sharing with a mentor or group as opportunity comes. I have enjoyed the Soul Training sections because they really get us to sit back and reflect and reconnect ourselves to our soul and to God.
As we read and practice the book, may we find the effort worthwhile experiencing our God and conclude He is indeed Good and Beautiful.
This book is one of three in the Apprentice Series so we may move forward to find out more from the second and third books namely, The Good and Beautiful Life and The Good and Beautiful Community.
