Last Words from Above: Medicine for the Spirit by Jeremy Brown is a non-fiction bite-size faith-strengthening words of wisdom and direction inspired by the "still, small voice", which usually visit the author when he is alone and at a quiet place. Mr Brown is an author of six previously published books which were all inspired by the same "still, small voice." His life yearning is to become a great listener of the Holy Spirit while inspiring others to also hear from the Spirit of God.

This book is unique. Apart from the prologue, it doesn't contain any chapters or formal headings, rather, it was written as one long "epistle". It has a total of 2001 sayings, with each new one beginning on a fresh paragraph. However, I am pleased that the author numbered all of his sayings. This made it easy to recognise and find a particular proverb if need be. It is very short, consisting of 178 pages.

I am tempted to compare the wise sayings in this book with the biblical book of Proverbs, or Songs of Solomon due to the high level of wisdom and understanding it exhibits. I found several of these writings informative, comforting and applicable to my life. Take number 15 for instance, "If you believe that you must fake it until you make, you may want to examine where you are making it to". This statement while not new is nonetheless profound. And I think many Christians will agree.

As a Christian, I value my Bible. And one of the reasons I respect it so much is because of its source; God. I am inclined to give attention to the words of Mr Brown primarily because he was inspired to write this book by the Spirit of God. This fact was carefully explained in the prologue. Technically speaking, I couldn't find any grammatical or spelling errors in the book. Also, there is no aspect of the book I didn't like.

This book, according to the author wasn't written to be praised for its beautiful poetry or nice words. It was however written for the edification and spiritual growth of Christians. Irrespective of your present relationship with Jesus Christ, I believe there is something in here for you. I, therefore, rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. And as already implied, I recommend it to all Christians and everyone looking for inspiration and direction.

I'm curious about what inspired the title of the book. It almost sounds like the last book in a series of books as you've mentioned in the review. I'm just wondering if it has a deeper meaning I'm not getting.
