This book is about remembering what God expects of those who confess Him as Lord. Do I just profess Him as Lord and then in my life have other gods that function as my lord? Can I say I follow Jesus with my lips, when my actions say something entirely different and still consider myself a follower of Christ? What does God expect? Am I willing to be open to God’s will for my life? These are questions the author answers for himself and in the process asks you to look at your own life and answer these questions in your own life.I found the book challenging and inspiring. I enjoyed reading about his calling, and how he still struggles with not allowing his heart to become hard. It is always inspiring to read about how another believer calls on God to remove his heart of stone and replace it with a heart of flesh. It is about God changing you from the inside out and I think the author is clear about this. It is nothing we do, it is all God’s doing. But he also makes it clear that we have to “start our engines.” I found my eyes opened to the suffering of poverty, hunger, disease, lack of drinking water and orphaned children. I felt a heavenly reminder that when someone is gifted and blessed by God in many ways, there comes great responsibility to use those gifts for His glory. Jesus calls all of his followers to use their time, talent and treasure to further His Kingdom here on earth. The author also makes it clear that only you can seek and find God’s will for your life, that your calling may not come as his did. Are you willing to take that first step to find out? I encourage every one “comfortable” or even uncomfortable in their faith to read this and let God “break your heart for what breaks His.”
