Review of a Derek Prince Ministry book 2011

I spent the first 6 chapters with a raised eyebrow because the book seemed at that point to be a book written for the wealthy class to make them feel good about their money. The middle section of the book, was more focused on helping people to understand Gods promise and His love. The last section of the book, really pulled it through and made it a winner. Hitting the nail on the head, the book drives home the plain and simple truth: the reason there are Gods people in need is because other of Gods people who have an abundance are not sharing that abundance. The book talks about the manna falling from the sky and about Gods people picking it up and some had more than they needed and some less but when they put it all together every one had all they wanted.
I think thats the key for us and so does the book.
I refer to it as the book and not the author because the author died a few years back in 2003. The Ministry of the author post humously published the book from the authors unpublished manuscript works and collection of notes.

What the book lacks, is a sound collective voice that all authors leave on every page but I will tell you this: it is one of the best books I have read in a very long time and I review books for 4 different publishers and do a little book writing myself.
What I loved about this book, what made it a rich source of inspiration for me was the way it guides the reader into understanding that we are Temples for God and as such, we house the Holy Spirit inside of us. That means a lot of different things to me. Many times in my life when I am reading the Bible I am amazed because I feel like I am there watching the events unfold. Not liek I am watching a movie or reading or hearing about events that I can picture but rather as Iam there watching, experiencing the events myself.
I now have come to a rich understanding of why: because the Holy Spirit was there and is alive inside of me and all I am is Him. So of course I feel like I was there when I read the Bible.
I had often wondered why I always had felt that way. I knew it was something to do with God. This book opened my eyes: thats a precious gift from God for reading it through to the end.
Also, the book makes a great case for tithing: its really not an option its an act of obedience and a show of faith.
This book is a great gift for a fast holiday read. I easily read it in a leisure 2 day read. I give it 5 out of 5 stars!

I received a free copy of this book from Chosen Books, inexchange for a review.
