5.0 out of 5 stars A practical look at the cross in the life of the believer, December 28, 1999

This review is from: The Inward Journey (Inspirational) (Paperback)

The Inward Journey is my favorite Gene Edwards book. It's simplicity and depth will arrest even the newest Christian in their walk towards the deep things of God. The book reads like a personal journal of experience, pain, revealing with it the divine purpose behind it all. Gene goes into the deep workings of the cross in our lives, a subject that is not effectively and practically taught to believers. After reading this book, I stopped blaming myself (and the devil for that matter) for most of the negative situations that I confronted in life. I have been greatly enrichened and TRULY edified by this book. I've at read it at least TEN TIMES! The Inward Journey is a classic masterpiece of Christian literature that will bring into perspective brokeness and pain from a divine viewpoint. You cannot help but feel that after reading this book, your sufferings will have both eternal and internal merit. In a world full of prosperity books, prophecies, and "name it claim it" doctrines, Gene cuts through the shallowness of it all and confronts you with spiritual substance, reflection, and healing. All of Gene's books have revolutionized my spiritual life, as well as show me a refreshing and real glimpse of our Lord. He is a truly unique gift to the body of Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! it was enlightening and entertaining, September 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Inward Journey (Inspirational) (Paperback)

This book kept me spellbound. The author has a wonderful talent for exploring and explaining a subject normally done in boring textbook verse. It is written for Christians from a Biblical perspective and is laced through characters which leave you asking for more.
