Book Review || Will Our Generation Speak?

A couple of weeks ago now, I finished reading the book Will Our Generation Speak by Grace Mally.

This book encourages everyone, but especially young people, to witness; to fulfil the great commission 'Go ye therefore and teach all nations.'  We always tend to think that the way to teach all nations is to go and be a missionary on some cannibal island where the people have never heard of Christ before. But this book encourages us to be missionaries at home, in our neighbourhood, to the people we see every day. We can do this by giving out tracts to people, door-knocking, letter-boxing, starting conversations with people in regard to their salvation, or even something as simple as a smile is a way to witness.

This book covers heaps of topics relating to witnessing, like how to witness, how to start conversations, what to talk about, what to do to overcome fear, et cetera. Grace also shares many stories about her- and her family and friends'-, witnessing experiences. It also has some humorous illustrations, to add to the chapters.

I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It has really inspired me to 'let my light shine.' :)

Between Here and Sunset...

Between here and sunset, there’ll be rivers to cross,         

The wind may beat ‘round me, my ship may be tossed.

But the Pilot that’s guiding my vessel can see,

Between here and sunset just what’s waiting for me.

And He’ll hold back the sun if the need should arise.

If the mountains to steep, He’ll just lower the skies.

He’ll exalt every valley, when they’re too rough and steep,

And between here and sunset God will take care of me.

As sure as the years number thousands and more,

And as sure as the sand lies to rest on the shore.

Just as sure as the clouds roll the rain from the sea,

Between here and sunset He’ll take care of me.

And He’ll hold back the sun if the need should arise.

If the mountains to steep, he’ll just lower the skies.

He’ll exalt every valley, when they’re too rough and steep,

And between here and sunset God will take care of me.

And between here and sunset God will take care of me.

Answered Prayer

 Remember a few weeks ago, the post I did ‘A Thought on Prayer? In that post I came to the conclusion that if we never ask God for specific things, we are never going to get specific answers, and thus our prayers seem to go unanswered.

When I did that post, I decided to ask God for something specific. I prayed that we would have some visitors come and stay, because we don’t often have visitors. And guess what…? Only a couple of weeks later, we had visitors. They came and stayed the weekend, and we talked, and we played music together, and we had a really great time together. 

So thanks Duke Family for coming and staying, (you're welcome back any time) , and thanks God, for answering my prayer. :) 

How has God answered your prayers lately?
