Hi Y'all!
I like to do my Book
Reviews in a different manner. I review it and take notes while
reading it, as I don't retain for a long period of time. By doing it
this way, I can actually help you feel as you are reading it with me
and benefiting from it as well.
This is an excellent book.
This author makes it an interesting read, as well as an intellectual
tool. For example, he reminded me that there is a difference in
“knowing what God's Word says, and BELIEVING it. To be a real
Christian we MUST BELIEVE it.
I was sent this book
titled Think, Act, Believe like Jesus, becoming a new person in
Christ by Randy Frazee from Harpercollins Christian Publishing.for the purpose of reviewing it. My honest
opinion is offered and given for no monetary compensation. Just the
wonderful copy of this book
To continue with my
review, this book makes you REALLY THINK and search yourself as to “I
say I'm a Christian, what is the evidence”? We are created in
God's image, but do I ACT the way Jesus did when he was physically on
this earth? Do I Think the way Jesus did then and does now?, To do
this, and be an authentic Christian, I would have to BELIEVE the way
He does. The Actual Title of this book is Think, Act Believe Like
Jesus. In other words we are to actually Think like He does, Act
like He does and BE like He is. Yes, Jesus is the only perfect being,
so we cannot totally BE like Him, although God's Word says “Be ye
perfect, as I am perfect”. We are to STRIVE to be the way He is.
I may not agree with
everything this author says, as we have doctrinal differences, but I
do know that I am learning A Lot from this book. Practical ideas,
and general knowledge as well as a wonderful insight to help me
continue my “self searching” is helping me.
This book is broken down
into Parts such as “Think like Jesus” What do I Believe?” Part
two; Act Like Jesus “What Should I do?”, Part 3 ; Be Like Jesus,
“who Am I becoming? Part 4; Transformation; The Think, Act, Be
Revolution and Becoming a New Person in Christ.
It even takes it a step
further and has an Appendix which covers Taking it To the Next
Level”.
As I said, I am writing
this as I am reading, so you will get the full idea of what this
author is trying to convey to us.
I am enjoying this book
completely. I look forward to seeing and reaping the benefits of
putting this book to work in my life and becoming a better Christian
as well as creating a closer relationship with Jesus.
It reminds me, yes, I said
I receive Jesus as my Savior, but how serious am I? Just as
Colossians 2:6-8 says, “Just as your received Christ Jesus as Lord,
continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him,
strengthened in the faith as your were taught, and overflowing with
thankfulness.
See to it that no one
takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which
depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this
world rather than on Christ.
This shook me to my bones.
I love to say I'm a Christian. I am Not afraid of the Gospel of
Christ, but how do I show it? Do I walk the walk and talk the talk?
Would God look at me and say “well done thy good and faithful
servant at this point?
I think I need to check
myself, and re-evaluate myself.
This is what this book has
done for me. It is not only someone's views, or help because of
personal stories and events, but he actually helps us to put this
book to work and apply these strategies of helping us to become
better Christians in our hearts as well as our minds. He helps me to
realize that ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
I recommend this book
highly for anyone who finds themselves wondering if there is more to
being a Christian than lip service, knowing scriptures, and good
deeds. There is so much more.
Read this book! I
guarantee you will consider it a blessing!
Have a great day! May God
Bless!

Hello Patti, thanks for the book review; I am still on holidays so I will make a list of interesting ones! God bless you sister :)
MASONRY IS DECEPTIVE AND EVIL. IT WILL TAKE YOU DOWN THE PATH OF DARKNESS AND INTO THE LAP OF THE UNDERWORLD!
The Problem in our society are the Freemasons, aka masons. If they were to disappear, the world would be a farrrr.....better place!
Masonry, the sure path to ruin. You may not see it now in the beginning, but you will as you progress in the craft and further yourself away from God and your Christian faith...
For starters, masons are interested ONLY in accepting those that hold some position of importance or authority in society. If it is a would be or actual politician than even better! Masons do NOT accept regular joes, homeless, or unimportant lazy folk. Second, the hook is the so-called Believe in a Higher Being nonsense (be it Jew, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim etc.). Third, as the mason progresses through the stages in the craft, the end goal for him is to realize that He does not need God because the transformation has occurred whereby the member realizes he is a God unto himself. Moreover, the ceremonies he participates in are Occult period and anti-Catholic (Christian), Muslim, Jewish, and Buddhist. They are demonic period.
Fourth, it is the duty of every mason not to knowingly or wittingly do harm, talk bad about or tell on his fellow mason. And, when a fellow mason is in need or danger to help him above all else. Therefore, this is the WHY it is so simple for the pedophiles within the occult mason organization to easily rape, molest, enter children with impunity. Some use mikey Finn, or simply get vulnerable children in exchange for cash to their families who need it. No fellow mason can, or is allowed by their own acceptance of the rules when entering the craft, to "tell" on one another. Hence, the perfect crime.
Fifth, just to clarify, the end game of masonry, which also is the de facto mission of the occult, is to slowly like hairloss, have it's members deconstruct all that is descent and Holy in society. Masonry and Catholicism are non-congruent. This is why every mason has a duty to oppress society (one of the masonic central tenets is: Through Chaos Comes Order, and it is the masons that will establish their occult order unto society). This is the reason why they work hard to destroy all that is sanctity in society and impose demonic teachings (For example: no Lord's prayer, gays and lesbians and 1/2 and 1/2 are a good thing,not a mental disorder which it is and if you oppose this you are racist of some sort. Have an abortion because it is not a human you have inside you but a piece of pepperoni, flood countries with muslims who NEVER integrate and are shut-in and by nature only impose on all their religious ways of thinking at all costs etc.).
And lastly, If one is a Catholic one cannot become a freemason. DO NOT be fooled by the masons and their lies. It is a mortal sin and excommunication to follow. If it were up to me i would banish masonry peiod, jail the pedophiles and bring forth to the Hague International Court all masons to pay for their Crimes Against Humanity. Hopefully, some day, this will occur.
