Book Review: Unwrapping Lazarus by Pete Carter
Book Review: Unwrapping Lazarus by Pete Carter
Freeing the Supernatural in your Life
I found this book to be engaging from the beginning and throughout, through the author’s excellent use of stories. And in the case of this book most of the time the stories equaled supernatural testimonies. I was crying and laughing all by the first three chapters. No dry expounding of the Word here. Don’t worry though, as plenty of the Word is included.
Each chapter dealt with a different topic and it seemed a little bit like hodge podge to me but there was the overarching characteristic of the supernatural which I believe was the author’s point.
One of my favorite chapters dealt with the imagination (chapter 9, Unwrapping Imagination). There were several confirmations in that chapter for me and I particularly liked the following quote (a question that he asked of a professor of theology at Cambridge University, p.101).
“Can I confirm that you are saying you believe in a continually developing theology?” “Certainly,” he replied. “Otherwise it can’t be God, but only our limited thoughts about Him.”
Another chapter I really enjoyed was the one about angels as again it confirmed something very specific for me. Some of the other topics include freedom, authority, wisdom, miracles, expectation, hope, and the Bible.
For those of you new to the supernatural side of Christendom there will be a lot in here for you but even for seasoned veterans in this area, you will find at the very least, much encouragement.
