Reignite: Fresh Focus for an Enduring Faith by Jack Graham Book Review





In Reignite, Jack Graham has written a new book about rediscovering the passion and faith and finding joy again. He begins the book by opening up about the year 2009 and how his life was changed forever. He had a checkup with his doctor. They ran some tests and found out his PSA numbers were increasing and they have been for four years. They found out he has prostate cancer. In a few weeks, he was supposed to be celebrating 20 years as a senior pastor at Prestonwood. He shared in the book how he endured anxiety and battled depression. He revealed to readers what he experienced and how he dealt with all the signs of depression. He described how he emerged from his pit and included some of the steps he did to get free. He explained how time, touch, and thanksgiving, and therapy greatly changed his life. He also shared how reading scriptures, meditating, praying over God’s Word, and proclaiming God’s Word helped to redirect his life. He reread the story of Jonah, Moses, David, Paul, and Elijah and how they dealt with anxiety. He shared how he has seen marriages restored, addicts break their addictions, prisoners accept forgiveness, the sick healed, and much more by reading, listening to scriptures, and proclaiming them over your life. Throughout the book, readers will learn about the fundamental of our faith, exchanging doubt, discontentment, distress, and following God. 




 

 

I would recommend this incredible book to anyone who is ready to reignite their faith and they want to get their passion back for God and His Word. I liked how open and transparent Jack was in sharing with readers about his life. I connected with how he included his battle with depression and anxiety and how he overcame it. He included many tips and suggestions on how he handled his experience. I immensely liked how he enclosed countless scriptures to encourage readers in their journey to rediscover their passion and faith. One of my favorite areas of the book, he looked at was how satan uses three ways to trap us and these included: distraction, deception, or compromise. I deeply liked how he taught readers about spiritual warfare and how we can live in victory.

Unseen: Angels, Satan, Heaven, Hell, and Winning the Battle for Eternity By Jack Graham Book Review

 
In Unseen, Jack Graham opened the book by sharing a terrible personal story about his father when he was 56. His father owned a hardware store that was next to a grocery store. A robber stole some cigarettes and his father picked up a hammer and tried to stop him. He missed and the robber picked up the hammer and charged at him. His dad was trained in self-defense but he lost his balance and he hit the concrete and was knocked out cold. The robber hit his father’s skull repeatedly until he was badly wounded and later he died. He believed that this was a spiritual force at present. This book covered the real aspects of darkness and the evil forces around us. But he also deliberated the topic of angels in scripture and their missions.
 
I would recommend this life changing resource to every single believer who is ready to gear up on their knowledge of angels, evil forces, Heaven, and the full armor of God. It is also a wonderful book to new believers and it will guide them on learning more about the spiritual world. I immensely learned the prominence of following the advice found in Ephesians and standing against the schemes of satan and not giving into his lies. Jack Graham did an amazing job at connecting the chapter together and informing readers on the basic foundations of spiritual warfare and how to handle the attacks of satan. I especially appreciated the helpful suggestions of praying frequently and the benefits of having an active prayer life. If you’re seeking a book that has the power to change your life, read this one!
