Rebuilding the Real You

Summary: Self-Improvement Spiritually and Otherwise
Review: Nehemiah's work in the Old Testament is used as an anology for this study of improving one's self. This rebuilding of the wall of the city is similar to the process of God restoring His people today. Pastor Hayford discribes the mission of the Holy Spirit as that of helping you to maximize your potential. We're reminded of God's original intent in creating us, i.e., "man, created perfectly 'in the image of God,' was designed for large purposes and deep fulfillment." He adds, "relationship and rulership are fundamental to our created purpose."

An excellent point is made on time spent with God. It is essential above all else. Dr. Hayford tells us that we discover self-understanding when we're in God's presence. God's nature is revealed to us in His presence, i.e., to save, to heal, to rescue, to redeem, to provide, and to answer.

This is a deeply solid book. It is filled with insights that will transform your thinking. Reading it will bring you closer to God. Your confidence will increase as you are reminded that you are His project. He has committed Himself to you and He is working all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purposes. This book will build your faith and the just shall live by faith.
