Created for Commitment,
By Nana (OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Created for Commitment (Paperback)
There are at least three true and ispiring stories here. One, the story of Miss Johnson, her family and her faith which, after floundering, took root in her and led Miss Johnson to missionary service in China. While there, she endured internment during the Japanese occupation. Second, the story of Bible Study Fellowship, born of her experiences and dedication as a missionary. Today, BSF is reaching people internationally. Thirdly, there is the unfolding of the hidden life of prayer and obedience to God's Word, the source and power behind her story.I want to have my own copy to highlight the numerous key principles I want to apply to my life as a result of reading this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding statement of faith and God's work!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Created for Commitment (Paperback)
Ms Johnson eloquently tells of God's work in her life. The book is truly inspiring and encouraging. Ms Johnson's writing style is more formal than we are used to, yet that adds to the books charm, and it is in no way a "hard read". I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to find out more about God or be encouraged in their faith.

Created for Commitment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Created for Commitment (Paperback)
This book is a great read. I found the life experiences of Miss Johnson fascinating. Her life was truly dedicated to God and the experiences she shares show how God weaves all the facets of our lives to work ALL things (good and bad) for the good of those who love Him. This book made me think BIG! I think we all focus too much on matters which don't have eternal importance. It also made me consider what I am doing for God. The main change it brought to my life is my desire to rekindle the Holy Spirit which I had snuffed out many times by not being responsive. Miss Johnson's autobiography caused me to want what she had....the Holy Spirit actively working in her heart.
