Written for encouragement in a weary world,“Learning to Soar”, is a strong encouragement for new, mature and just world-weary Christians who find themselves struggling in a morally and spiritual challenged world.
Avery T. Willis Jr. and Matt Willis are unique in the fact that Avery is the grandson of Matt Willis, and together they have written a book, that the press release for this book,“Learning to Soar” has captured so eloquently:
“ Are you going through tough times? Discover how God uses challenging circumstances to bestow abundant blessings. Showing you how to use your hardships to teach and serve others, Avery and Matt Willis encourage you to risk trusting God, leave your comfort zone, and be light and salt to a hurting world.”
Immediately the first chapter captures both the heart and soul with references to Deuteronomy 32:11 and Isaiah 40:31 being the point of focus and working outward from those scriptural verses, they provide scriptural resassurance in a difficult world where sometimes morality seems non-existant.
The way,“Learning to Soar”, is designed, the first 142 pages are given for the actual book itself, while the rest is devoted with chapter by chapter questions, in the event that the reader is felt led to use this for a small study group.
It was enjoyable and uplifting to read and a highly recommended book to share with others, particularly as a reminder of God’s providence in our lives and a reminder that He is in control.
