Review of Last Words from Above
Posted: 09 Oct 2021, 08:40
[Following is a volunteer review of "Last Words from Above" by Jeremy Brown.]
Last Words from Above is a book by Jeremy Brown. The author describes his aspiration for presenting messages from God, and puts pen to paper on the messages he received towards the end of his forty-day fast. The book presents wise quotes to a supposed audience who have good understanding— an understanding of the spirit, an understanding of good and evil, an understanding of the word of God. The book exposes the works of Satan— in how he creates the illusion of a material world without a spiritual realm. The book also talks about power in the tongue— the power to proclaim good things about one's self. Power to influence the future. The book talks about chasing a purpose rather than chasing success. A purpose that is fulfilling in the moral and ethical sense. Most of the book's quotes are also centered around the message of the heavenly God's gift of freewill to humanity. Freewill to find the right part on their own and make the right Christlike choices. The book's quotes cover topics on visions and aspirations; other quotes impact readers with faith in God and steadfastness. Although the quotes cover a wide range of topics, the last third of the quotes cover issues on morality, wisdom, virtues, human values, and ethical living.
I like the prologue. I believe it was able to reverberate the teachings of human communion with God. I can not take credit away from the book structure; a highly organized and numbered book that keeps readers attentive. I saw a part in the book that expresses appreciation for life on earth and the gift of life in heaven. I liked those quotes as well. I thought the concept of using quotes to write a book was far-fetched, but once I read further I realized it was a journey through wisdom. Understanding the book was easy; reading it was even easier. I can only imagine the time and effort it took the writer to compose such a write-up. All the same, the book was impacting and enjoyable.
I dislike some very minor things about this book; like the font used. I believe they were better serifs that could have been used. I felt that the book was solely for Christians; it could have been had some neutral messages that would have been better suited to other religious denominations. When I studied the book properly, I realized the writer made the same mistake many other Christian/religious books make. The writer did not explain his religious journey; the reader cannot understand what his inspiration to worship is; as such, the writer just starts to express deep faith and belief, leaving novice or atheist readers lost.
I thought the book was organized and well revised. I also found it to be exceptionally well edited, so I put a rating of 4 out of 4 stars on the book. I thought the book was authentic.
I would recommend this book to Christian readers. I would also recommend the book to people who need sources of inspiration. I think this book is good for people of all religions.
