![]() We were made for God’s love and without it, we sink into loneliness. That’s because our human hearts crave for a relationship deeper and more lasting than anything possible in this world. “The most perfect human love cannot satisfy us. Prayer brings us more into conformity it bridges the gap between what we know and what we are.” Our perception of truth is always ahead of our condition. “Prayer moves what we know from our heads to our hearts it’s our hedge against hypocrisy, the way by which we begin to ring true. He is drawn to us when we have done nothing right and when we have done everything wrong (especially when we have done everything wrong)”. This is some of the quotes I like: “His pursuit is not a reward for our good, but the result of His decision to love. It would take you to a deeper knowledge of God and who he is. I believe this book is must read and use as a bible study for everyone, old Christians, new ones and for groups. I like how David Roper talks from his own experience and how everything on this book has so many bible verses united feels like a big puzzle. I am not sure if was the years of knowing this or just take the message behind this psalm for granted.Įach chapter feels like a journey, and I feel that is to know that good shepherd David wrote so many years back. But I must say, that I was amazed by the deepness beyond this verse. So, on the second time, I actually did take my time to digest and reflect on what David Roper shares about the Psalm 23, many of us if maybe not know by heart, at least once have heard this particular psalm, since it is well known. When I read this book the first I read it too fast, I found that even do this book was short had so many wonderful truths. I received an ARC of this book from Discovery House Publishers via NetGalley, this review is my personal opinion. I thank Netgalley and Discovery House Publishers for an ARC to read and review. Especially if you have known suffering and hardship, you will want to read this book. Other than some other minor points I would disagree with I find this book incredibly helpful and encouraging. ![]() ![]() Of course life is hard, but often it is our point of perspective that makes the difference. I strongly disagree with his notion that most of life is a dark valley instead of green pasture. He obviously knows what it is to suffer and has tasted the utter darkness of the valley of death he is writing about.īut I also noticed a tendency of the author to radicalize his statements. Not many authors have been able to speak to my spirit like Roper has done. Though the book tackles basic issues like our need for salvation, trusting in God and especially trusting God while suffering, it does so in a deep, soul-satisfying way. This makes Roper's work immensly rich, profound and easy to read. Roper is obviously well read and he accompanies and strenghtens all his thoughts and theories with quotes and poems by other (christian and old) authors. ![]() I'm always glad when I find a book on theology that is basic yet fresh. ![]()
