The Sound of God's Applause: Living a Life That Glorifies the Father

Rating:
Summary: A crucial, readable opus concerning divine approval.
Review: Rarely does an author's first book strike so near to the heart of an issue. Dr. Hughes invites the reader, by means of the printed page, to share a casual conversation over a cup of coffee about the subject of approval. Through relevant examples, and with careful attention to the biblical witness, the author suggests that a life truly worth living is one lived seeking God's approbation, not that of other humans.Get this book, read it, underline it, re-read it, and then send a copy to a friend whose life has become mere existence.

Summary: A timely book on the human need for approval
Review: The Sound of God's Applause deals with one of the most basic of human needs: approval. Through insightful examples and biblical analysis, Dr. Hughes examines our need for approval and leads the reader to search for approval from God rather than others. The writing style makes it seem like a conversation between the author and the reader. You will find yourself underlining passages and perhaps wanting to shout out, as a lady in one of the anecdotes does, "Fix it, Preacher." When you finish the book, you may feel that the author has helped you to fix it. Highly recommended.
