A. W. Tozer really enjoyed the the topic of worship, this book examines the act and object of worship. He saw worship as the main reason for which creation exists. Worship: The Reason We Were Created includes collections from the wonderful  spiritual writer on this important subject. This work is concentrated on thinking about the church's current worship and provoke the church to true, spiritual worship. Some of the topics included in the book are: the act and object of worship, the Presence of God, worship throughout the week, feelings and emotion in worship, man as a worshipping creature. Also there's an emotional expression during prayer and praise that's expressed well. We are made to worship God, it is the most important reason that we exist. We are most alive when we live for His glory. Therefore reading this book would benefit everyone. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for this review.

Book review: Spiritual discipleship by J. Oswald Sanders

Oswald Sanders teaches inspiration and instruction for spiritual maturity, he presents how true discipleship is more than believing in Christ, it involves the whole person and lifestyle. There are lots of biblical requirements presented that teach the nature of true discipleship in Christ.
Those people that only have the belief vulnerable to fall from the faith.

Book review: The wisdom of God by A.W. Tozer

The main message of the Wisdom of God is that were created by God and for God, and as a result: the only way to find true joy, peace, and contentment is by understanding and embracing His wisdom. Wisdom is a practical tool for living the best possible life. Tozer teaches throughout the book on this topic and explains the well-lived Christian life. God's wisdom shows His character that's inseparable from His love and grace. When we experience His wisdom, we automatically draw closer to Him. As we know God more, we will change our decisions, our attitudes will be transformed and relationships renewed. This way we become all God wants us to be.
By embracing His wisdom, we overcome temptation, we seeing and appreciate God's hand in everything and learn how to be committed to God. This book can change our decisions, attitudes, and relationships, putting us on the path to becoming all God wants us to be. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for this review.

Book review: The treasure principle by Randy Alcorn

This wonderful book by Randy Alcorn presents readers a revolution in freedom and radical generosity. The treasure principle was first published in 2001. This new revised bestseller book includes a provocative new conclusive chapter illustrating how God asks a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. This is a thoughtful Bible meditation of the highly personal aspect of everyday's life. Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” because this is the most important thing. The secret lays in the fact that joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. Everything else in this world will fade but the things done for Jesus will remain. Will not be burned or destroyed but have meaning and value. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for this review.
