Sun Stand Still is a call to live with audacious faith. Pastor and author Steven Furtick uses Joshua as an example to propel us into a new dimension of faith where we are brave enough to ask God for that which seems impossible. I chose this book because I thought it would be a book that helps increase my faith and moves me to a new level. I did not get that out of this book. While the message of this book is relevant to todays society, for me, it wasn’t as motivational as I thought it would be. Don’t get me wrong, this book is an excellent book.
I would highly recommend it to a new believer who has questions about what faith is and how to increase it. This book is Biblically based and is filled with wonderful examples. However, if you have been a believer for awhile, and are looking for a deeper challenge, then I would not recommend this book for you.
Sun Stand Still is a great book to help you realize that God is calling His people to ask, seek and knock and to look for His hand in your impossible situations.

Hi! I came across your blog via Waterbrook Multnomah. I wanted to read what other reviewers had to say about "Sun Stand Still" because I reviewed this book as well for Waterbrook Multnomah.
ReplyDeleteAlthough you wrote, "I thought it would be a book that helps increase my faith and moves me to a new level. I did not get that out of this book", I am curious why you thought it was still "excellent".
I'm not in any way criticizing you or your review. I'm just curious about why you thought it was worth 4 stars excellent. I had a slightly (well, ok, a greatly) different interpretation of it.
Thanks,
Mike
