QUOTES ON TOP

“I want something really worthwhile to live for. I want to invest this one life of mine as wisely as possible, in the place that yields the richest profits to the world and me…wherever it is, I want it to be God’s choice for me and not my own… Christ said, “He that would find his life shall lose it” and proved the truth of this divine paradox at Calvary. I want Him to lead me and His Holy Spirit to fill me.” – Betty Stam

BOOK REVIEW 1 - GOD'S GENERALS (BY Ms. DOLLY)



Roberts Liardon, is the author of this book who diligently worked for two decades on this book. God appeared to him at the age of 12 and God’s one of the direct missions was to research the lives of these warriors and he has been collecting and studying about their lives ever since. When you and me run for café and shopping he would have appointments and engagements with very old men and women to have interviews regarding the lives of the preachers. How wonderful God has used Roberts to bless millions of people like us.

This is the book of the Holy Spirit and as Dr.C.Peter Wagner said, this will encourage you and strengthen you to succeed in whatever purpose God has for you in His kingdom’. As Morris Cerullo, the famous preacher said this is destined to be a spiritual classic.

Gods generals were diamonds in the rough mostly unsophisticated, uneducated by man’s standards – yet God recognized who possessed the unique characters. He could use if they surrender their call. Sometimes we see the great evangelists and preachers and wonder how talented and special they should be. 

In this book Liardon shows that God chooses weak vessels and uses them mightily if only that person is just available in His hands. The book details the lives of 12 people that were powerfully used by God with all signs and wonders following. The 12 people are
John Alexander,  Dowie Maria Woodworth Etter,  Evan Roberts,  Charles F Purham, William J Seymour,  John G Lake,  Smith Wiggelsworth,  Aimee Semple Mc Pherson,  Kathryn Kuhlman, William Branham and  Jack Coa A.A Allen.

Some of the familiar names Kathryn Khulman, Smith Wigglesworth, John G.Lake all reminded me the power of god manifested in this world and how those periods in history are marked for God’s deliverance and healing power in the entire societies. This book not only shows the successful ministry life of the people, but it also shows how careful we should be in handling God’s power and glory so that we shouldn’t be deceived by the devil. The life histories just took me into the very lives of those dear and admired, reputed people, the very generals of God along with God’s generals mentioned in Hebrews chapter 11.
If you want to read a classic spiritual book about the life of God’s saints, then definitely this is the book for you. Young people who are sure about God’s calling in their lives to do His work, should study this book to know the real path of ministry, deceptions put by the devil and how to come back even when a fall occurs. Go, get it and be blessed.
