Book Review: The Power that Changes the World by Bill Johnson
Book Review: The Power that Changes the World by Bill Johnson
The main theme of this book is about God’s wisdom and its importance in our lives but finding this theme was more difficult than usual for me. Everything did not begin to tie together until I had read at least halfway through.
Even though the central theme seemed to be eluding me the individual nuggets that I read were delectable and the stretching of my mind out of the box was almost delightful, as per Bill Johnson’s usual style of writing and speaking. I liked the way Mr. Johnson’s thoughts caused me to pause and actually think.
Not only that, this book was not just about wisdom, it includes Mr. Johnson giving out wisdom. That is what really tied this whole book together.
Notable quotes:
“If favor is given to me, it must benefit the people around me in order for it to be considered favor well stewarded.” page 81
“God loves everyone the same, not everyone has the same measure of favor.” page 81
“The way we receive people—acknowledge who they are and the gifts they have—also determines the deposit they will be able to make into our lives.” page 118
“Our ongoing relationship with God is evident in our tenderness toward the Holy Spirit. It is the absolute key for living in wisdom.” page 142
“A job is secular when we do what we do in our own strength for God and not with God.” page 161
