Making the Connection
Discovering a relationship with God
by J.John
GoodBookStall Review:
This is a slim, evangelistic volume written in J. John’s usual accessible style, using mobile phone terminology to illustrate how ‘connecting’ with God is possible. It’s all on a basic level, with nothing to alienate the technologically challenged, and the message is put across very clearly without ‘dumbing down’. I was particularly impressed with how the unfashionable concept of ‘sin’ is handled – as a loss of communication caused by our breaking of our ‘contract’ with God.
The newly-connected believer is not left high and dry after the prayer of faith; the book indicates that this is just the beginning of a life-long journey, stresses the importance of fellowship with other Christians and encourages growth with a phrase-by-phrase guide to the Lord’s Prayer. It even includes a warning about troubles ahead – a matter often glossed over or ignored in such literature! A useful pocket-resource.
