Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-08 00:00:00 Daniel Alderman "The church is the body of Christ in the world today; as such, God has much to accomplish in and through us as we live and work together." I searched high and low through my books on this site, looking for my review of this title. I read this book last year and it had a major impact on my life. So how could I forget to review it? Farnham has given all Christians, no matter what denomination, a way to make sure God is in the midst of all decisions. This is not really how most churches work, at least in my experience. We tend to look at our decisions as if they are ones that we would make in the non-religious, work-a-day world. It is easier to use the skills we have honed at work and at home. However, Jesus said that we are to pray that God's will be done on earth. So therefore, we should make sure that we listen for God's voice. The exercises in Farnham's book take time, trust and faith. It is not easy to try something new when people are anxious. And I believe that many Christians are anxious. However, I continue to look for ways to use this book at my church. I believe that God is with us and wants to help us. We just need to be willing to listen to Her.
