I
find it a bit hard to describe this book. It is sort of like a
“walkabout through the majesty of God.” (202) De Leon helps us
marvel at the work of God and out future. She motivates us to set our
minds on spiritual things.
De
Leon notes that we have spiritual amnesia. We've forgotten who we
really are. We look for fulfillment of our desires in all the wrong
places. We get distracted by the things of this world. We don't
realize we have the “high privilege of reflecting His character and
rule throughout the world.” (14)
So
she helps us set our minds on things above, revealed to us by the
Holy Spirit through the Word. I like her suggestion about meditation,
to form mental pictures of what we read in the Word. De Leon teaches
by story telling. She uses many examples from her own life as well as
stories from the Bible.
I
recommend this book to women who desire to be “enthusiastic about
our King and life with Him in the Age to Come.” (117) De Leon gives
great motivation to find in the King all we desire. She helps readers
know how to live day to day, representing the King. Her writing style
is almost poetic and a delight to read. I found her topics a bit
rambling but other than that, a good book for women.
My
rating: 4/5.
