5.0 out of 5 stars Only Through Christ Will We Overcome!, December 23, 2004

Moody has written a gem that will continue to bless long after his death over 100 years ago. The gist of the book is an inspiration to overcome internal and external obstacles through Christ's strength to be an overcomer.

Among the important points covered in the book include:

1. It is folly for a person to fight in the flesh. God will not abandon us in time of need. A godly person must learn to stand alone.

2. People wrapped up in pleasure have no time for meditation.

3. God wants us to use the influence we have for His glory. A person's influence lives on after the person dies.

4. Rare is the person who follows Christ in meekness and humility. You cannot counterfeit humility. We will not be disappointed when we humble ourselves before the Lord.

5. One of Christ's prominent virtures is His humility.

6. Rest cannot be found in the world - we will get rest only at the foot of the cross.

7. We have the privilege of casting our burdens on Jesus.

8. The way of obedience is always the way of blessing.

While this gem is little known compared to other Christian titles, it will nonetheless bless and encourage you.

Read, enjoy, and be encouraged.

Highly recommended!

This review is from: The Overcoming Life

I have been a great fan of D.L. Moody. Any new Christian will benefit from reading this book. From the first chapter to the last he goes through the Bible and just brings out simple truths that will help any Christian live a victorious life. I love how he takes you right into the Bible times through his illustrative Bible stories. This book is a great blessing and I wish I could have enough to give out as gifts.
