About a month ago I requested a book through Thomas Nelson's BookSneeze program. I wanted something interesting, something informative, something that I could understand and something that I could use the knowledge from to put to work in my life.
The book I chose is Lead Serve Love by Gregory E Lang. The tag line is 100 three word ways to be like Jesus. That tag line is what really grabbed my attention. Three words? Really? Yes really. Lang makes a three word statement. Then after that statement, he goes on to explain what he is referring to in a brief paragraph. This description that he gives is where you learn how to implement the statement into your life. Lang takes it one step further though and provides bible verses to back up what he is talking about. Some could say that this stuff is common sense but you know what, sometimes we all need the reminder.
One of the three word phrases that stood out to me is number 52, which is "ask for help". Lang goes on to say that "You cannot save yourself or conquer your own sin. But Jesus can, and he waits patiently, listening for you to call on him." There is more after this but it's that reminder, that we need to speak to the Father and ask Him for help and guidance. He is waiting for us to ask.
Did I like the book? Yes I did. It is an easy read and there is so much in the book that you can take and apply in life. Take a look at the book the next time you are at the store. Read a page or two and see for yourself what Gregory Lang has written and see how you can apply this in your life.
