As If - Gill Bentham - Bog

You might be a believer, but do you struggle to believe God really will do what He has promised. God tells us, “All things are possible to those that believe.” Do you have more in common with doubting Thomas than King David or Mary? You love God, dream big and work hard to put life into the vision that thrills your heart. You know God CAN do it. But will He? And through YOU? Internally you scream “What If?”, or prayerfully wish “If Only!” Whatever happens, “Even If” disappointment and delay interrupt your journey, author Gill Bentham convinces you that the tests are worthwhile. She reveals a powerful truth: When you live “As If” your dream has already happened, it is yours!
Life coach Gill gently teaches through the ancient character Jacob, a meandering canal cruise metaphor and her own anecdotes and observations. You will recognise a far deeper goal than the lure of fulfilment. Simply put, your aspirations are unattainable until you desire them less than the One who put them within you.
In this book, you will learn the unforced rhythms of grace as you:
Master the deceptive power of reason, emotion and will Embrace the transforming power of weakness, brokenness and loss Relax into deep assurance of your value, potential and calling Stand fully confident, as His unique choice for your appointed time This is a truly imaginative Pilgrims Progress birthed at the turn of the millennium for every twenty-first century believer who is weary of the superficiality of spiritual platitudes and sickly-sweet recipes for success
