God is Willing by Charlene Murray is an expose into the pre-ordained plan of God before creation. How Satan and the fallen angels are trying to manipulate people with these plans and how God makes salvation available for people. The author tried to explain how the devil plans to manipulate people by whispering bad thoughts into their minds. So, it is paramount that we be able to discern between a bad thought and a good thought. This book contains wisdom that will make readers understand God even better and therefore help them in their journey through life.
In her explanations and arguments, the author buttresses her points with different Bible passages. There is even a chapter, the last chapter, that she dedicates to explaining these Bible verses. She also agreed that a Bible verse can have different interpretations, which could be influenced by what an individual is experiencing. Some of these interpretations might be right, while others just intentionally interpret the verse to justify their actions and inactions.
She is of the opinion that the judgement, which is the hardships we experience now, is a benefit for us because it serves as a catalyst to ensure we stop our wrongdoings that we are willing to stop. So above all, we are all judged by God on this earth.
She is also of the opinion that God knows that we will experience hardships. Therefore, he made divine release available for all humans willing to tap into his salvation so they could cope with this situation. The divine release will ensure that it is less strenuous for believers. And he made his wisdom available through pain.
She is also of the opinion that discernment is a line between judgements. Discernment will always make people decide on what's beneficial for their lives. However, not everyone is endowed with discernment.
God's pre-ordained plan is for men to be wicked but not extremely wicked. And not being an extremely wicked man open to salvation. So, everything that happened from the beginning of the world is pre-ordained.
I agreed with everything the author exposed, but at some point, I felt lost in her explanations. I like her style of writing. She always uses this phrase intermittently: "You see," mostly to open an argument. This made me feel like I was sitting across the table from the author and we were having a one-on-one discussion. But at some point in time, I would have interrupted her arguments at some instances where I felt she used wrong Bible passages or where I felt there was a mix-up. For example, she mixed up the parable of the prodigal son with the parable of the wedding feast in chapter 5.
Apart from my observation above, I feel the book is well written with original thoughts. I like how she presents her arguments sequentially. She did not use any ambiguous vocabulary. I also did not see any errors while reading, which made the book exceptionally edited. This made me rate the book 5 out of 5 stars.
I recommend this book to Christians who want to get a deeper understanding of their faith. I recommend it for people who want to dig deeper into the plans of God for humanity. We need this type of book for the proper sensitization of believers to be wary of the plans of the enemies to corrupt the minds of young people. When you read this book, you will see the unconditional love of God for humans.

"God is Willing" is a Christian book that explores the pre-ordained plan of God to man. It delves into the origin of both bad and good thoughts and provides ways to discern the source of our thoughts. I highly recommend this book to Christians.
