Grace Ambassador: Bringing Heaven to Earth by Dr. John Jackson Book Review


 

In Grace Ambassador, Dr. John Jackson explored the topic of extending grace to the world around us and becoming everything God has for us. He opened up the book with sharing how he became a grace ambassador. He admitted that he struggled to believe the words on the pages of the Bible. One of these examples was the Lord’s prayer and the part that stated how God’s will, will be done as on Earth as it in Heaven. He wondered how this was even possible with flawed human beings and how could the Earth even be as close to as what’s occurring in Heaven. He revealed how we are all called to spread grace and the message of Christ and His teachings. He explained how we are commanded to be the light and salt of the Earth. This is the important framework of being a grace ambassador. He looked at spiritual gifts and how to discover them. One of the ways is inquiring with God about why he made us the way we are and this can help us to go deeper in developing our gifts. He breaks down the gifts into three sections: ministry growth, support, and signs. He also went into detail about providing grace to the world. 

 

 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is ready to reach the dying world. This book will provide readers with the tools to spread the message of God’s word and become ambassadors. One of my favorite topics discussed rejection and how we must be very careful. They can speak toxic words into our lives and souls. Instead, we need to remember 1 Corinthians 13 and what true love really consists of. Another favorite thing was on the depth and insight on the gifts we can use for the church and the world to benefit the Kingdom of Christ. My mom prayed for knowledge and wisdom over my life growing up and I believe this helped to lead me with being blessed with this gift. This book will assist readers into bring Heaven to earth and changing the world around us.

Bringing Heaven to Earth: You Don't Have to Wait for Eternity to Live the Good News by Josh Ross and Jonathan Storment Book Review



In Bringing Heaven to Earth, Josh Ross and Jonathan Storment have teamed up to explore the power of Heaven that is available to believers on Earth. Throughout the book, the authors look at the meaning of Matthews 6:10 and this verse talks about God’s will being done as it is in Heaven. The book also dug deep into the meaning behind how God is going to create a new Heaven and how the Earth and Heaven will collide. And the good news is that while we are waiting for Heaven we are instructed to love others and be a blessings to others. This book will encourage readers to live their lives that will make an impact on others and bring the power of Heaven to Earth.
 

I especially love the chapter about weddings. The authors discussed the importance of marriage and how God views weddings. They opened the chapter with declaring the insights found in Matthew 22:2. This verse stated how God’s Kingdom is like a King who has made an enormous feast for his son and his new bride. They pointed out about how Adam and Eve was the first wedding God performed and God knew the strength and power a husband and wife could have together. They also shared the teachings found in the opening of the Gospel of John. This passage talked about when Mary asked Jesus to make some more wine for the celebration of a wedding. Jesus at first said no but then He told the people to fill the dirty jars with water and serve them. The wine turned out to be the best wine. This chapter filled with me with much hope about how God has created Heaven and how He has an awesome place for His people. 

 

I would recommend this breathtaking book to anyone who is longing to discover the critically and awe-inspiring truth about Heaven and how we can have Heaven on Earth. I liked how the authors included tons of scriptures to back up their beliefs. I especially loved the chapter about how to get over the control of the fear of failure in your life. This chapter taught me how I have to realize that perfect love will cast out all of the fears in my life. This book gave me great encouragement that there will be no more pain and heartache in Heaven. But it gave me an even greater call and mission to live my life fully and bring the power of Heaven to Earth.
