Shade of His Hand

Rating:
Summary: Telling It Like It Is
Review: Too many times christian writers try to make us believe that if we are good little boys and girls God will pave a way for us with rose petals. Not so Oswald Chambers in this book. He lets us know that life has ups and plunging downs; horrors as well as ecstacies. The trick for the christian is to develope a day by day realistic relationship with God and to depend on him every step of the way to not only take you through these times, but to lift you up as you go. Oswald does this by an analysis of the book of Ecclasiastes. Few are brave enough to tackle this but this author does it in a very down to earth, nuts and bolts fashion. It gave me a springboard from which to go in my mind and begin to think in a new way about the things that have happened in my life. Through the whole book the author himself shines through as a real three dimensional person and not just a preacher or teacher isulated behind a pulpit or sitting somewhere writing a book. He is right in the thick of things, hot sweaty body, next to hot sweaty body. This gives his words authenticity.
