Book Review by Becky Dietz


I love to read!   So...often I will post books on this blog which have meant a lot in my life.  They may have come at a time when I needed them most or when I was ready to hear their message.  But if I remember a book or an author, that means they're a big deal to me.  

The first book I want to review is Classic Christianity by Bob George.  If you're a Kindle reader, you can download it here on Amazon.  If you like to hold a hard copy, you can also get it on Amazon or if you want a bargain, go here to Half.com.  (I've bought from this website for years!)

I bought Classic Christianity from Major Ian Thomas' book table when he came to our church in Borger, TX.  At the time, I was working through some emotional healing and had started my journey in asking God for truth in everything I did.  This book was like a dynamite explosion in my hands at that moment in my life.  The truth that Bob George teaches in this book has served me well for about 15 years.  I believe the message in it is timeless.

Bob George says his book is for bogged down, burned out Christians.  If you're doing all the right things and still feel weary, this book is for you.  He began his own Christian walk excited and in love with Jesus only to end up a few years later (after getting involved in Christian work) burned out and used up.  Bob cuts to the heart of the issues which cause so many believers to start out in a radical way only to end up going through the motions.  Bob shows you the way back to life--through Truth and the power of the Holy Spirit.

If this describes where you are, I hope you'll give this book a chance!
