Today's BOTD is a guide for Christian readers looking to achieve balance in their lives, specifically spiritual balance. It's filled with personal stories, as well as biblical examples, to back the claims the author presents throughout. Sounds like a great choice for those interested in the genre. Thank you for the helpful review and keep up the amazing work!! :-)

This is not a book that interests me. I appreciate the need for balance in life, but I’m not one for Christian self-help books.

A God -Balanced life is an eye opener to all believing Christians who wants to grow spiritually. The author give a detailed analysis on living a Christian life and having Biblical role models like Jesus,Noah and many more to help develop our faith.

The author also give details of great benefits one could receive if following the word of God.

A God-Balanced life is a book I would recommend for believing Christians and newly born again Christians.

This is a good and, may I say, 'balanced' review. 4 out of 4 One important point missed is how somethings can never be balanced. Our service to God mustn't be shared with the world and/or the devil. To be balanced in this area is to have a foot in two camps. This is wrong. As for justice. Justice, is what it is. To be balanced in the middle of fair and unfair is not the amount of justice that anyone wants. (Added by me: To be balanced between love and justice is sound. Straight justice can be harsh. Softened by love, is balanced. In other words, we need to select the right things at either end of the scale, to be balanced, in a righteous and useful way.)

I'm not into reading books from a different faith to my own. But I have nothing but positive things to say about this book. I noted one typo in the sample and am happy to hear that the reviewer found the book to be well edited. I can forgive one error I noticed and agree with the rating of the reviewer. Very happy to have been introduced to this book via BOTD.

As a Christian reading this shouldn't even be an option.The love of money and its consequences is a mystery I can't wait to unravel with the backed up bible verses.Great review

"A God-Balanced Life" by James Puckett Sr. An interesting inspirational book, talks about how one is balanced spiritually and otherwise. It tells on how good your relationship is with God. It also teaches us on self-control, contented, living and studying the word of God, obedience, faith, and lots more. Congrats on your #BOTD.

The reviewer, Sophia Damilola Ajayi, in her best understanding, sees a balanced life as the equivalent of a state of equilibrium.

She sees the book as a Christian self-help write-up which teaches values such as tithing and self-control, and gladly awards the book a 5 out of 5 stars rating.

I agree with her.

This will be very interesting to Christians as the author discusses the topic regarding the importance of living a balanced life as a Christian specifically spiritual balance. This is informative and very relevant to a specific group but I think this can also helpful to anyone who wishes balance in life.

You wrote a wonderful review. I'm glad that you enjoyed the book. However, being a non-practicing Catholic, this book is not for me.

This is indeed an exciting book. A lot of imbalance and turmoil is in our world today that makes us unable to live a balanced life. Spiritual balance is critical to a healthy relationship with our God. This book is set to help us tune our lives to what God expects of us. Thanks for the review.

Books about religion and other self-help books are not my cup of tea but the word "balance" is a very interesting word. Balance is needed in lots of spheres and in many things to make your life happy and fulfilled. I'm sure the book will find its reader. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

This book is suitable for a lot of Christians falling out of faith, and looking for a source of encouragement, or enlightenment.

According to the review, tithing, and attending regular church meetings was addressed here, along with the benefits of each of them.

In our mordern times, as a believer, these activities have been controversial, as people have likened the act of tithing as enriching the pockets of men of God, and as a means to extorting unsuspecting individuals.

I believe this book would strengthen a believer to hold fast onto his faith. It is admirable, I must say

The concept of a balanced life differs from one person to another. The author's strong faith in Christianity can be easily detected in this book, along with his desire to make a difference, which is very admirable. Congratulations on BOTD!

This Bible-based, Christian, self-help book seems like it will be helpful for Christians who are struggling. Great review!
