Blogging for Books provided Good Things by Kevin Gerald to
me free. I am not required to give the book a great review it does deserve it.
From the first words the book Kevin states we have not earned Gods favor, he
freely gives it to us. This is a concept that is hard for us as humans that
have been hardwired for so many years to had to earn acceptance and favor whether
it’s from parents or coworkers.
Kevin brings many examples from his own life such as an incident
as a teen where he wrecked a new car. He feared his father’s disapproval but
instead of chastising him, his father was glad he was okay – a new car can be
bought; but a son cannot be replaced. Another example he gives us is an issue
he had at the airport in which he goes on to state his displeasure of dealing
with the airline staff. Even then, God did not show disfavor towards him nor
the airline worker. The biggest take away from this book is the concept of a ‘favor
faucet’ and how it never stops flowing even when you become content, God still
shines his favor on you and will lead you where you need to go. Kevin also
touches on those different seasons, whether we refuse to follow Gods urging and
his path for us, become complacent in life or in a relationship, and choose to
follow our own path. No matter what
season of life we are in God always affords his favor to us, we just need to
let go and see what he has in store. As the author states at the end ‘Gods favor last a lifetime!’
I recommend this book for anyone who is in a tough season
and feel abandoned and lost. God is always there.
