40 Loaves Reviewed




ABOUT THIS BOOK
“Why don’t I have more faith?”“Why am I so bored with Jesus?”“Why are Christians so hard for me to like?” There are many questions we’re not supposed to ask when playing by the religious rules. It makes people uncomfortable. So why is it that Jesus invited questions and even asked some of them himself? What is it that you’re afraid to ask God? It’s a risky prospect to begin asking–but far riskier to continue simply trying to get by without knowing. Author C. D. Baker asked himself 40 soul-searching questions which started a conversation in his heart and ultimately showed him more about God than He ever expected. Can we become more honest with who we really are and find who God says He really is at the same time? Come indulge yourself in daily readings with an honest exploration of your secret fears and thoughts, and know that you will always be welcomed in God’s unconditional love.Search me, O God … and know my anxious thoughts.–Psalm 139:23 NIV



My Review: I was very pleased when Random House asked me to review this book. We know that there are perfect numbers in the Bible, 3, 7, and 40. Three days that Jesus was in the tomb, 7 days that God took to create the world, and 40 days that Jesus was away and tempted by Satan. There are examples throughout the Bible of taking time away to meet with the Father. This book is a perfect example of taking time with God. Using 40 days to get alone and allowing the Holy Spirit to minister to you. I highly recommend it! I am giving this book a lighthouse and shining a light on it for pointing a path to God.
