Review: Submission

Submission: Heeding Only His Voice by zeke lam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Zeke Lam contends that the biggest problem in the Church today is the lack of submission to the will of God. Instead of being transformed by the renewing of their minds, too many Christians are conformed to the world. Even many churches are selective in what parts of the Word of God they believe and practice. Putting personal opinion and desire above God’s Word is idolatry just as much as wooden idols of earlier times. Our purpose in life is to bring glory to God, and we can do that only when we submit our lives to His will. Often we don’t understand why we go through trials and tribulations, but that’s because we don’t see the big picture. And sometimes when we have success, we take the credit for it ourselves when in truth we can do nothing on our own without the help of God.
I highly recommend this book to Christians who want to deepen their relationship with the Lord.

Disclosure: I received an electronic review copy from the author’s publicist, but that in no way influenced my review.
Hi,
This is short article but this is nice and saying lot of things for live a good and safe life because we should understand one thing only money is not everything.
Sam,
There is nothing more important than our relationship with God.
Sounds a good spiritual book to read. I guess I would be needing to read this to renew and revive my spiritual life.
Jane,
I think you will find it helpful in deepening your relationship with the Lord.
“And sometimes when we have success, we take the credit for it ourselves when in truth we can do nothing on our own without the help of God.”
That’s always a good thing to hear and I’ve learned that even failure can open doors.
Excellent point, Jeff. Failure can definitely lead to success by what we learn.
Hi Lillie,
I can’t agree more with this line “Often we don’t understand why we go through trials and tribulations, but that’s because we don’t see the big picture.” I think that is the main problem with our world today, people young or old want everything fast. They don’t want to go into trials and tribulations; they don’t want to learn from mistakes because they don’t want to do any mistakes.
Have a great day,
Mark
Mark,
We have become an entitlement society, where people feel entitled to a life free of worries and pain, but that’s not the way things are.
Short and Simple but Interesting!! Nice Job!
Thanks, James.

Kamran,
When I do reviews I like to include the major strengths and weaknesses of the book. However, I try to focus on the positive and keep the negative to a minimum. Of course, all reviews are subjective, but I try to be as objective as I can.
