I’m a member of the Family Christian Bloggers and they
provided me with a free copy of The Power of Weakness for this review.
In Power of Weakness, Dan Schaffer explores the biblical truths
found in God’s word about power despite our weakness. Many of us realize that
we are inheritably weak and apart from Christ we aren’t able to be who we were
created to be. Throughout the book, we dive into scriptural verses concerning the
live of Paul. One of the main verses was 2 Corinthians 2:9-10 which basically
describes how God gives us grace and his power is perfect and shown in weakness.
Paul was content that he had weaknesses and for Christ’s sake for when he is
weak he is strong. Dan also guides readers into overcoming danger, despair,
baggage, fear, inadequacy, abuse, and so much more.
I would recommend this amazing book to anyone who is
struggling with inadequacy and weakness and they are seeking to improve their
lives and discovering the power found in Christ. I liked how Dan also shared
how God used people who thought they were weak and unqualified for what God was
calling them to do. For instance, God called Moses to lead His chosen people out
of Pharaoh’s control. Moses considered himself a weak person and not much of an
effective leader and he felt uncalled to lead. But God gave Moses power through
his weakness. I connected to the story of Moses because at times I have felt fearful
of doing what God has called me to do and unqualified for the task and afraid I
would fail and bring shame to myself and Christ. This book has taught me how to
recognize the power found in Christ. I also immensely loved the rest-release
program presented in this book and I truly believe this will assist many
believers. If you’re looking for a book to help you discover the power establish
only in Christ, then read this book!
