Review of Affirm The Word
Posted: 08 Sep 2021, 08:47
[Following is a volunteer review of "Affirm The Word" by J. Marie Jones.]
J. Marie Jones did a sublime job writing this work. She is knowledgeable but humble and I adored this fact. This book is a help-self-guide based on the scriptures, the idea of the author is that if you choose to change all your weird thoughts for the word of God. It covers topics like despair, grief, and fear, among others. I keep copies in my car and have used them as testimony tools. I offer them to homeless people, acquaintances, and friends who are going through a difficult period in their lives, and I can attest to the receptivity of atheists and others who are not particularly open to Christian beliefs. Although I am a believer, I cannot say that I actively practice it. I don't defend it as well as I should, and I tell myself it's because I don't have enough evidence to support it. I have a lot of "feelings" and can sometimes instantly calm someone down or explain things to them. Jones also talks about how difficult it was for them to let God carry their burdens. She taught me that it doesn't matter how large or tiny my problem is; all I have to do is ask and speak with God every day! I dare say that knowing that everything will work out according to God's plan brought me peace, confidence, and calm in a chaotic world.
Marie's advice has helped me rekindle my relationship with God, and I'll be eternally thankful.
I rate it 2 out of 4
