Beskrivelse
Resting in His Grace is book number thirteen in author Charlotte Johnson's series of motivational texts. It has been a long but worthwhile journey through the series. This book, like all others, focuses on the need for God to improve us and on the realization that we are not perfect. We need a savior.
This is an excellent book. While reading this book, I hope you can see Dr. Johnson and her journey and challenges through her voice and words and accept her and her story from her perspective. While reading this book, I lost sight of Dr. Johnson's journey and began to focus on my own.
It is the book of self-discovery, but it's also a book of liberation and freedom. It is the book that gives you an opportunity to take control of your life, just as Janet Jackson did in her album Control. It is an opportunity to redefine oneself and one's self-identity through the love of God and His perfect vision for our future. My heart's desire and prayer for you are that you also experience God's revealing grace to enable you to find peace and remove any prop or hindrance that is holding you back from Him and His perfect peace.
It is also the knowledge that God loves us and cares for us, and that He is our security and not anyone on this earthly plane. He will lead us, guide us, and protect us, comfort us, and give us peace like no one on this earth. This book, above all others, took me on a personal emotional roller coaster, but at the end, it had a cathartic effect. It was worth it.
This book is an excellent read for anyone who is truly ready to see themselves with all their ugly flaws, props, and codependency, including dysfunctional relationships and other things that no longer serve their progress but tend to hinder it.
The book is useful for mothers who want to instill in their daughters the confidence and freedom to be themselves and develop in a world that will try to limit and define them to hold them back and say that their experiences, their hurt, and their pain have no value and that they should conform. It's also good for daughters, who are trying to send a message to their mothers that, "I appreciate what you've instilled in me, and I've built upon it to make my life my own." It's excellent for family members who want to bring peace and harmony to their families and resolve decades of trauma where dysfunctional functions may have defined or limited the members of the family, paralyzing them.
The book goes from a contemporary perspective, such as the book Kindred, by Octavia Butler, to assist in handling and observing past events with the knowledge of a modern audience. Events in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s in our current genre are covered in the book the events-that took place when women were silenced or governed by "familial roles." The societal norms are explained, and various feminist terms are now critiqued through a modern and wiser eye. The concepts of dating, independence, and love bonding, as well as bullying and manipulation to remain in marginalized roles, have evolved.
