Author: Dr. Charles Stanley
Reading,“How to Reach Your Full Potential for God”,, I was impressed by the scriptural backing of the book.
Covering seven principles that often reflect the daily concerns that as Christians, people find themselves struggling or looking how to deal with, Dr. Charles Stanley, provides biblical backed solutions and examples from the Bible of how to seek God’s Word, to reach,our individual potential, to serve and worship our Heavenly Father at our best.
What ,“How to Reach Your Full Potential for God”,, doesn’t do, is be an everyday self help book,but instead emphasize how our Heavenly Father can help you.
Backing suggestions with scripture, ,“How to Reach Your Full Potential for God”,, indeeds reaching it’s full potential, and is a wonderful suggestion for those who are seeking to develop a deeper and more active relationship with our Heavenly Father and a book, that could easily be recommend,not as “the source”, but as a tool for helping new to “young” Christians seeking to have a more substantial relationship with our Heavenly Father.
Dr. Stanley, constantly reemphasizes that,“How to Reach Your Full Potential for God”,, does not take the place of the ultimate source of guidance, the Bible, but does help provide useful references that anyone could find value in.
On page 16, Dr. Stanley shares, “The Christian life was never intended to be a matter of book learning or hard knowledge. God wants us to live out the life He created and intends for us to live”.
There are some parts of the book that are encouraging and others that for some, may feel convicting due to its bluntness and telling the reader what they need to hear, not what they want to hear, and it lives up to what Dr. Stanley says that,”Anytime we turn fromthe Fatehr’s way to our way, we grieve Him. Anytime we choose what we want over what God wants for us, we stifle the Holy Spirit’s ability to help us” (pg.38)
However the truth is, reading this book, there was so many quotable quotes, examples and scripture that could be shared that it really helps open doors that God seeks to open.
If you are truly inspired to live a more fruitful and deeper relationship with our Heavenly Father, I recommend,“How to Reach Your Full Potential for God”,.
No one is perfect, but no one is so imperfect that they don’t have the potential to be used for and in a way that will glorify our Heavenly Father.
“How to Reach Your Full Potential for God”,, is a great reminder that it’s not about changing or altering who God has made us to be, but about a relationship that aims at maturing and making us better who we are and that is a good thing.
“How to Reach Your Full Potential for God”,, is just an overall encouraging book for either general reading, or discovering how to take your relationship with our Heavenly Father to another level and a recommend read to all.
