The idea of a balanced spiritual life is something I have no idea or thought understanding. Being content with God and obedience and faith are all core Christian virtues.

Balancing is always valuable, whether God is the motor or not. This book would not be for me as a non-Christian, though I do agree with some of the topics such as self-control and learning to be content. I did have to google the word 'tithe'.

What comes to mind when you hear the word balance? Balance can refer to a state of being balanced, stable, or in physical equilibrium. Everyone has their own definition of balance. More than physicality, there is a spiritual balance every person must strive to maintain. For Christians, maintaining a balance means simply living the Christ life and obeying the word of God. Any way of living that is in conflict with this denotes a spiritual imbalance.

A God-Balanced Life: Who or What Are You Yoked Up With? is a Christian self-help book authored by James Puckett Sr. that gives Christians an explanation of spiritual balance. The author talks about the importance of living a balanced life as a Christian and the benefits that come with obeying God. The Bible is a guide for every Christian, and Jesus is the model to follow. So living in Christ and obeying the word of God strike the perfect balance. 
 
The author talked about issues that have generated discussions over the years, such as tithing and attending church meetings on a regular basis. The way the author used instances from his personal experiences really impressed me. For instance, he discussed the value of tithing and the extent to which it might advance a person. He gave us an example of a time in his past when his finances were in disarray and he neglected to pay his tithe. I learned a lot while reading this book, but the advantages of tithing really stood out to me. You are merely robbing God when you fail to pay your tithe. And there is a consequence.
 
Several other valuable matters are discussed in this book. like self-control, learning how to be content, living and studying the word of God, obedience, faith, and many more interesting subject matters. "Be content with what God has blessed you with." "And if He desires for you to have more, He will open the door for it." This was a statement by the author that really got my attention. Nowadays, we live in a world where many people are never content with what they have. Their appetite for more is ever-increasing and insatiable. The love of money and its consequences was another amazing topic that was dealt with in this great book.
 
The author used Bible verses to back up his argument, which made the book even more interesting and valuable. Several bible characters were featured, like Noah and his act of faith and obedience; Habakuk; Ananias and Saphira; Apostle Peter; Judas; Micah; David; and many more. 
 
This was a very short but inspirational book that gave me insights on the importance of living a righteous and balanced life in Christ. As a Christian, I am very pleased to have read this book because the lessons learned will last a lifetime. It was also an eye-opener on some issues I've been dealing with.
 
This book was professionally edited, and I found nothing to dislike about it. I will be glad to give it a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
 
I recommend this book to Christians who are struggling with their faith and to anyone who has recently gained salvation and is looking for a Christian guide.

God's plans are always best for people. People should be content with what God has conferred upon them as well as any deprivations in life.

This is what this book, A God Balanced Life, is about. It’s about the whole man; spirit, body, and soul. It is written to focus on the whole person. The person that you see every time you look into a mirror—you. Our life should be a mirror to the world that reflects the image of Christ. Imagine your life being a scale and the scale is balanced by how you should live it. And how you live is based on the Word of God. Your way of living should be balanced by God’s word. Let’s get ready to Live a God-balanced life.

I appreciate this thorough review! Simply trying to get a grasp on the concept of balance has been a huge part of my personal journey (particularly with faith). Making the effort to break all this down rather than telling someone to “just do it” is something that needs to be done more.
