Like Daniel in Babylon, Christians today are exiles in a hostile culture. Every day, we face the lions--the easier road of moral compromise, the lure of earthly wealth and influence, the temptation to give into our fears or our apathy. Yet we are called to obey God rather than man, and we need courage to do it.
Award-winning apologist Ray Comfort wants to help you develop the fortitude to look into the mouths of lions without flinching, trusting that God will not only bring you to the other side of the trial but that he is refining you through it. This encouraging and practical book draws on inspiring stories from Scripture to help you identify the lions you face and build a strategy for combatting them, recognizing that nothing catches God off guard and reminding you that, by his power, you have victory over the darkness.
For any Christian who is feeling beaten down, burned out, or ready to give in, this book offers a spiritual shot in the arm.
This is a review of Ray Comforts new book So Many Lions, Too Few Daniels, and I have to say right away this book is amazing! Ray Comfort is am evangelist, and he wants to share his message of how Jesus saved and transformed his life in a very powerful way. He wants to help fellow believers put aside their fear, and begin to share their stories of what Christ has done in their lives, so we get the Gospel message out to a hopeless world, and this book does exactly that, it shows us how!!
I chose this book because I too have been saved and transformed by Jesus Christ, and I wanted some help on how to share my story with others, so I chose this book because God has been using Ray Comfort for decades to share the Gospel, and now he helps people, like me, who also want to share the Gospel, but aren't always sure how. Well if that's you too, then this book is for you!
This book is not a how to save people in 10 easy steps...NO, but it is a book that will guide you as you seek the Lord and His word which is truly the way we learn to evangelize others, we go to the source, Jesus and His Word! Ray points us to Jesus and His word, and gives examples of conversations he has had with people, which is so helpful. I felt like I was right there listening in, and I learned so much. His way of is not pushy, disrespectful or anything like that, but it is truthful and filled with love and hope for a fallen world filled with sinners in need of a Savior just like him.
I learned so much about the Gospel, and the Scripture verses he showed in the book really helped me to grow even more as a long time Christian! This book is well written, easy to read, and so vital as it helps us to release our fears, and teaches us how to start a conversation with someone, and hopefully lead them to the Lord. It is not our job to save them, but it is our job to tell them what Jesus has done in our lives, and then come alongside them and help them draw close to the Lord in discipleship!
So I think this book is so vital right now, and after reading it, I feel good about being more equipped to share my faith without fear, and have asked the Lord to give me courage and opportunity to share the hope that both Ray and I have found in Christ. This book will definitely be a book I will keep referring to. It is a short book, but full of great truth and ideas to share your faith! So I give it a 5 out of 5 star rating, and highly recommend it!!
