For sure those are needed as so many of these stories have very difficult subjects. Great suggestion. Readers should be aware of it.

I like the fact that the stories inspire without being too hard in making the readers to be believers with the snap of the finger.
You are right, I wouldn't describe this book as preachy either or condescending. Which was good and made it more effective.

The stories in the book look interesting and spiritually touching. Though I also don't like people who don't differentiate God and Jesus

I did enjoy this book, as it was something that I could relate to as a Christian. It somehow brings healing when others are willing to share their stories, so you can learn from each other. This book is for people that are interested in emotional healing. There wasn't anything I disliked about the book.

Grace Revealed: Finding God’s Strength in Any Crisis by Frederick J. Sievert is a beautiful book. It emphasizes the presence of God’s will in all our matters, be it good or bad. I got closer to God after I read the book. It has made me spiritually stronger. The message of the book is clear. It is to have faith in God. God is always with us. He only gives that much trouble, which we can carry. If there are problems which you think you don’t deserve or that they are just too horrible, remember that it is always in God’s will. Have faith in the Lord, he will never disappoint you.

The Lord wants us to have trust in him, and he will bestow us with grace. And you shall return the grace to others, which is the three phases of the Christian life. It is vividly described in the book with inspirational stories. Stories of people who have gone through dark times, but with faith in Lord, they have overcome that phase. Now, they believe in returning the grace to others by making them feel the grace of God.

The author has done a fantastic job of showing us the various stories of grief, which was overcome by God’s grace. It has made me an utter believer in the power of the almighty. I give this book 4 out of 4 stars. This book has a special place on my shelf, and I will definitely revisit it soon.

From reading the true life testimonies of people,their struggle, the changing points, the bible verses, really inspired me. This book made me understand that God is always there no matter how dark our past is or whatever we are going through. I highly recommend this book for everyone.

Latest Review: Final Diagnosis by J. T. Madicus

Post by FaithMO19 »

After reading the review of this book I am convinced that it is one of those books that one would read and not forget. It is sure to leave a positive impact on the lives of those that read it. It contains real life situations and not just some cooked up story in the head of the author. The author uses the Bible to explain some facts he state in the book and this is good. The author understands the crisis that we face and he has shared his opinion of how to overcome these crises. I like everything about this book and I would recommend it to those that understand the place of God's grace in our lives. The importance of God's grace cannot be overemphasized and I would suggest that only people that understand it should read this book otherwise, they wouldn't enjoy it or even value it.

I love your review. It is a truly a strong and powerful message and yet very much simple. Have faith. I think that is the book that can be easily read more than once and still find something new to discover about it.

The book is inspirational and motivational. The author's use of short stories makes it more interesting for readers. Its proliferation with Bible verses makes it relatable. It is recommended for everyone whatever their religious belief particularly Christians. There was not much to dislike about it. I rate it 3 out of 4 stars.

The fact that there are comforting passages of scripture for those going through challenges and trials says a lot. I also love how grace finds the lost and leads them back to God. I think it is a book worth reading most especially for spiritual growth.
