Nell Mohney

NCLA Review -Jesus said (John 10:10), "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." This is the theme of Ms. Mohney's book. To have this abundant life each of us must slay our "giants"—grief, depression, procrastination, stress, perfectionism, anger, resentment, jealousy, lust, loneliness, etc. Each chapter identifies a spiritual giant we face, giving real-life examples of others' experiences with this problem. Practical, everyday advice is given to help us, not only cope with life, but to make a difference. Prepare for the storms. Choose to be happy. Pray more thanksgiving than supplication. Remember that your response to circumstances is more important than what actually happens. This book could be considered a presentation of "mini-sermons" to help us face and overcome our spiritual giants. Short, easy-to-read chapters end with inspirational scriptures and in-depth questions, both personal and biblical, for private consideration or group discussions. Rating: 4 —CRP… (mer)
