Excellent Book For Evaluating Our Lives!
By Michael Taylor
Gordon MacDonald, one of my most bestloved authors, has written and splendid book on the need for us to valuate our lives as we enter the 30s and 40s and beyond. Granted, this book may be more suitable for older readers, but younger ones will also gain as they prepare for the “prime of life”.

Among the principles MacDonald covers include:

1. Abraham exercised outstanding faith when he left the comforts of his home and followed God’s voice to go to a new land.
2. Although Abraham experienced scars in his life, he was a man who learned to trust God.
3. We have to go to quiet places to get a glimpse of God’s majesty. Faith is built in the tough places of life.
4. Character is what genuinely exists in the concealed life of a person. A fall in reputation is often times due to the neglecting the inner life.
5. Principles of perseverence.
6. Jesus was (and is) very fascinated in a person’s character.
7. A person’s reputation is revealed in inconceivable situations.
8. To have life change, we ought to be more than willing to reach for the unfamiliar.

All in all, an splendid and highly commended book!

Pastor MacDonald does it again!
By MW Benson
I have been a fan of Gordon MacDonald’s books for almost a quarter century because he is so strongly focalized on the practical distinct features of the Christian life. This, his latest book, deals with the question of moving onward to the next step. He is convinced that God has more for His people if we live a life of continuing “mid-course corrections”. No matter what apparent disaster has befallen the Christ-follower, God may use it to fetch good. If you are finding your spiritual life a bit flat, here you may find hope from one who has learned from experience that God is a God of the second chance.

MacDonald does it again
By MW Benson
“Mid-Course Correction” is Gordon MacDonald’s best book to date. As in all of his books, this is a very practical book, full of concrete suggestions. He proposes that all of us need to be in a lifelong procedure of continuing conversion. Either we need to escape from a sure staleness in our life, or we need to become more devoted “Christ-followers” He sees Abraham as the most applicable model for conversion because his conversion was most like that which people today face. He, and we, come from a pagan culture and need to learn much that a great deal of from the culture (or subculture) take for granted. MacDonald is a gifted storyteller who uses events from his own life as well as biblical narrative to illustrate his points effectively. read this book, you will be better for doing so.
