My Review
There are some popular verses in the Bible we like to claim without understanding the entire meaning of the verse. 1 Peter 5:7 is one of them. Just as learning to fish by casting is not easy, so casting our cares on the Lord may take some training and practice. Nilsen points out that there is some essential information Peter gives us prior to that verse, like the necessity of humility.
Nilsen gives several practical steps to help us cast our cares. He also tells encouraging stories, such as the background to the popular hymn, It Is Well With My Soul. He gives a number of verses to memorize as well as verses specifically related to casting our cares.
I recommend this insightful book for those who desire to really live into the reality trusting God for our concerns.
My rating: 4/5 stars.
About the Author
More from Richard
If you had told me I would write a 168-page book based on one verse in the Holy Bible, I would have said you were crazy. God works in mysterious ways, and I believe He inspired me to write this book, a project that took three years to complete, in order to help others who are struggling.
During the process of battling earth-crushing anxiety and depression, I learned how to cast my cares to the Lord and leave them with Him. The result: He would take care of all my cares and handle my problems for me. What I discovered is that casting your cares is a skill that one has to learn. It is not something that you just do without any practice and without the correct foundation. Learning to cast your cares on God can be a struggle at first, but it is a pathway to a God-fearing and eternal mindset. Once you learn the art of casting your cares to the Creator of the universe, your life will never the same.
I have always felt compelled to help others, and writing has always been for me the best way to convey my thoughts. When my college sweetheart and wife of 4 ½ years died in a tragic accident, I wrote the free grief guide “The Road to Recovery” specifically for the victims of the September 11th tragedy. I later converted that work into an e-book for distribution online and through Amazon. CAST – 1 Peter 5:7 is another book based a difficult time in my life and how God pulled me through.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I promise that discovering how to cast your cares to our Lord is a skill you will not regret learning! Join me on this adventure.
