NONFICTION BOOK REVIEW #2020-040 - The Sacred Chase: Moving from Proximity to Intimacy with God


EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SING AMAZING GRACE IN REGARDS TO THEMSELVES

I had won an advance paperback copy of this book from the publisher through a giveaway they had on GoodReads, and the following is my honest opinion.

It's easy to imagine a devil-possessed individual singing Amazing Grace once they've allowed themself to accept the Lord into their once decrepit life and lifestyle. Those of us who have already gone from merely having a simple relationship with the Lord to one that is more intimate and are always already to proclaim it by singing What a Friend We Have in Jesus:

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

It, however, is regrettable how so many Christian are confused regarding the level of their relationship with the Lord. Their confusion is rooted in all of the worldly distractions they've got in their perceived Christian lifestyle. They're eager to attain a more intimate relationship with Him but are clueless as to how to do it. The author of this book, Heath Adamson, seeks to enlighten his readers regarding this desired relationship by skillfully interweaving his life experiences and others with biblical stories that most Christians already know from the Sunday School classes they had as children.

Add to this, the addition of scripture, and the apparent result is the realization that anyone with a hunger for religion in their life has the capacity of conquering their despair, their embarrassment, and justification of not having the Lord being a part of their lives. And by inspiring his readers to follow the Lord regardless of their current relationship status, that they'd be able to see their redemption as an entranceway in discovering the Lord's love in a more noticeable realization.

For wanting his readers to achieve a deeper connection to the Lord so that they can sing Amazing Grace in regards to their spiritual transformation, I've given Mr. Adamson the 5 STARS he's garnered from this voracious reviewer of nonfiction Christian books.
