The following is a re-review of the book Now is the Time: Returning to Your First Love by Davis Holt Jr. It is a powerful plea to our nation and the world to turn away from sin and return to our 'first love,' God. We are in a spiritual war and need to heed what is around us, read the Bible, and follow the instructions of Jesus. God created a man to serve God first and then serve the rest of God's creation. Davis stresses, "it is time to bring disobedience to an end." God is the creator, and we are the creation, and corruption destroys God's design. Like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, God gives us a choice. We can serve Him or serve the world around us. This book points out how God loves His creation and will not tolerate sin against it. When he speaks of 'creation,' the author isn't just speaking about the world around us; he also talks about humanity as we are also God's creation. Davis provides biblical Scripture to back up every point he makes. Reading this book will give you a greater understanding of the problems we are facing today.

Davis has written a plea to all nations that it is time to turn back to our first love, and he shares numerous biblical Scriptures to explain how they still apply to our lives today. He encourages the reader to read and study the Bible daily. Davis also shares his personal story of lies and betrayal by people he had worked with and counted as friends. It is a powerful testimony of what people will do to save themselves and what God can do if we are obedient to His word. This book gives direct instructions to believers and non-believers alike. The author never tries to sugarcoat what he is saying. He tells it as it is in God's Word. Now is The Time is not a book based on 'political correctness.' It reveals instructions from the Bible on salvation, love, obedience, service, and much more.

What I liked most about this book was the author's transparency. He is not afraid to take a stand for what he believes in. He admits the things he has done wrong in his life. He also does not apologize for this book about salvation and serving God. Davis explains how we are the temple of God and how we are defiling the temple if we defile our bodies. As Davis puts it, 'we are spiritual beings housed in fleshly bodies.' I love how open and forthright he is in saying what he believes.

There is nothing I disliked about this book. It is a well-written eye-opening book that made me look at my own spiritual life and realize I needed to make some changes. Now is The Time is a religious book, but its message speaks to believers and non-believers alike. The book is exceptionally edited. Because the author was bold in his comments and used biblical Scripture to back them up, and because of his transparency about his own mistakes in life and his dynamic writing style, I am honored to give this book 4 out of 4 stars.

I recommend this book to anyone looking for solutions to the spiritual war around us. It is suitable for everyone, age thirteen and up, regardless of spiritual affiliation.

I will really love to read this book, i love that the author reminds us that its spiritual warfare, and that we are in this world but not of the world. We are God's holy temple and we ought not defile ourselves. Great review

Thank you for your review, but I don't think I will be reading this book. It sounds too preachy to me. Based on your review, it sounds like the author claims to know what God wants and doesn't want.

Thank you for your review, but I don't think I will be reading this book. For my liking it seems like the authors voice is so authoritative when it comes to what God feels or thinks.

It is refreshing to hear about authors taking a stand for their beliefs when so many religions are going in the opposite direction.

Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity. I love the author's reminder of the meaning of this world and our main purpose which is the service to God. it is very good to be conscious of everything we do here. May God help us all. good review.
