Being a servant of God

The Bondservant’s Life was a book that not only challenges your understanding of what it means to follow God but also lays the foundation in helping you understand the Bible as a whole.  This book defines what it means to be a bondservant of God.  The key verse of this book is Revelation 1:1 where Jesus is revealing the things that are to come to his servants.  The author then explains how the book of Revelation is written to God’s servants and until we understand what it means to be a servant of God, then we will not be able to understand the prophesies in this book.  The author then explains in detail what a bondservant is all about.  To do this, he goes back to the Old Testament law and describes bondservants in the nation of Israel.  Bondservants were people who willing stayed and served their masters because of their love for their masters.  Every Christian is then called to serve God, our master, out of our love for Him.  A bondservant’s life will be characterized by pursing God through his word, live a life of complete obedience to God and walking totally dependent upon the Holy Spirit.  Every single Christian is called to this radical commitment to God.

This book is a wonderful read and you will be challenged in your walk with God, but a word of caution needs to be said.  This book is not a book that is fluffy and easy to read.  This book will take time to read because of the depth of the material.  This book is quite meaty with Biblical truth that can change your life.

I review books and received a complimentary e-book edition from the publisher through Bookcrash.
