5.0 out of 5 stars Admonitions for the Bride, August 30, 2000

By 

Kissyfur "kissyfur" (Texas, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Make Haste My Beloved (Paperback)

As with some of his other books, Frances Roberts writes as the Father and the Bridegroom entreating His Bride toward her final destination. His books are full of comfort, rare jewels and deep insight rarely found in most books. They are for the wounded in heart, the lonely, the weary, confused and disappointed.

The tone of Roberts, in this book, is that of the Bridegroom giving gentle instruction, clear guidance and immense encouragement in view of the coming wedding: The Bride must prepare her heart, she needs to know how. The Groom gives step-by-step instruction to the Bride, leaving nothing out.

The Groom basically stills the Bride's heart, helping her to quiet her spirit and refrain from influences that defile her spirit. He teaches her freedom, freedom that is only attainable through total submission to the Spirit, and how to cultivate her spirit. He teaches her how to draw on the Spirit's resources, and how to remain in her hiding place where her soul is under divine protection.

I recommend this book to those who are seeking to walk and rest in the Spirit - it is full of comfort and will refresh and guide you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Daily Devotional That Will Teach You To Pray, February 23, 2006

By 

RLaw (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Teach Me to Pray (Paperback)

This a great devotional that will inspire you to pray more and will also teach you things about prayer that you may not have known. It is one of the greatest books on prayer that I have read. It is so good that I will on occasion take it with me just to read sections of it. It has a scripture index in the back that can give you new insights to specific bible verses. It also one of the few books are prayer that combines God's love with prayer.

This review is from: Make Haste My Beloved (Paperback)

This is a wonderful inspirational book. It's just like a conversation with God. When you seem to have a special need and you pick this book up, it's like God talking to you from the pages. I have appreciated it so much. It has helped me many times and encouraged me when only God knows what I need. I certainly recommend it. It is a special gift that keeps on giving.
