REVIEW: Awakening to God: Discovering His
power and your purpose by Gerard Long
This is a call to awaken sleeping Christians.
Those who have hit the snooze button.
And especially for those who have turned off
the alarm.
Those who have stopped believing in the urgent
mission at hand—making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the
world.
Author and evangelist Gerard Long reminds us
that as Christians today, we tend to follow a “come” model that focuses on getting
people to come to church to hear the Gospel. But Jesus told us to GO and make
disciples out in the world where the people already are.
The book is a simple plea for Christians to do
what we were called to do—save a drowning and lost world by introducing them to
Jesus.
The book shares much of Long’s testimony and is
a quick 140-page read but packed with hefty urgent reminders that are worth the
time.
*Tyndale House Publishers provided
me with a complimentary copy of these books for my unbiased review.
