BOOK REVIEW
TITLE- DAILY LIFTERS
AUTHOR- CHINYERE
JOHN
The book “Daily
lifters” is a collection of very interesting passages of scriptures and the
author’s brief thoughts on them. As the name implies, it seeks to boost your
confidence and faith. It seeks to encourage the reader that there’s no cause to
fret. The central theme of the book is the portrayal of God’s infinite capacity
and his sovereignty in all situations. This is rightly captured on page 77 with
a verse from Isaiah 41: 17-20
“When the poor and needy seek water
and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear
them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I will open the rivers in the
high places, and fountains in the midst of the valley: I will make the
wilderness a pool of water and the dry land springs of water…” Why will He do this? “That they may see, and know, and consider,
and understand altogether, that the hand of the Lord hath done this and the
holy one of Israel hath created it.”
The book, ‘Daily
Lifters’, is not just a devotional, but in so many ways follow after that
pattern. The author in titling it unwittingly gives you an idea on how best to
appreciate the work. It is best taken in, in small pieces than as a whole. Each
small bit serves to make an impression on the reader leaving you with a
momentum that spurs you on.
The book is
unique in that it can be viewed as a collection of promissory notes from an
authentic source, as it opens with the passage “every word of God is flawless…” In a time when all the highs and lows are all
too contrasting, the book does not so much as call for sober reflection, but
with every page it seems to re-echo the phrase “keep moving” as captured in the
seemingly perpetual bounce of the lady adorning the cover page. With its home
grown flavor, it assures, it reaffirms, it encourages, it reminds and indeed it
lifts. It is positive.
In the pages
you can almost see the exuberant confident smile of the author as she
reassuringly shares with you well placed promises from a God who lacks the
capacity to let you down. It is a book that will serve well as a daily manual
for the journey of life. I gladly recommend a copy.
