Book Review: “The God Pocket”

Untitled-1

Have you ever found yourself eager to be used by God, yet totally unprepared when the opportunity to take a step of faith and obey His leading presents itself? This upcoming book by Bruce Wilkinson provides practical advice for those willing to open their hearts and wallets to the needy and presents the reader with what I would consider a radical and potentially life-changing concept: what if we are merely managers of God’s resources and not actually the owners? As the subtitle states, when we recognize God as the giver of every good and perfect gift, “suddenly, everything changes.”

My first impression when receiving this book was that it would be a general guide to handling money in a Christian way. Instead, what I had really found is the path to a truly unique method of generosity that relies entirely on God’s leading and provision. You probably won’t see this on any best seller lists or read it more than once or twice yourself, but within these pages lies a concept with the ability to completely transform the way you look at money. Not only is it God’s provision for you, but is in some cases His intended provision for others.

To those who enjoy a quick read with a powerful message, consider purchasing this book. Though I often find myself bored with authors intent on filling 300+ pages with a relatively simple idea, this particular volume took little time to complete and left me excited about what I’d just read. It doesn’t release until October 11, so don’t head to your local bookstore just yet; but do be sure to check it out as soon as you can get your hands  on a copy. It’s worth it.

This is a strange concept, we don't own our money and resources, we're just managers. Sounds like the good servant and the wicked servant- the good servant invested, the bad squandered it. Great post. I may need to pray and meditate on this. Kind of hits something I struggle with. I don't think God wants us to worry about money- He promised He'd provide.
