New Book Review
“Finding the Light of Jesus" by Cindy Tuttle
In this devotional delight Cindy reaches into her soul with a well examined catharsis that she invites her readers to share.
... everything in our lives is now marketed for speed (p1) is her opening to this book. This phrase reveals her no-holds barred approach as she assails the cultural norms for dealing with suffering. Cindy is intent on delivering a spiritual re-positioning to life's changes and chances that pass across all.
This Christian book of counsel and meditation directs the reader to a path of spiritual intimacy with the eternally living Jesus.
These autobiographical devotions and reflections capture almost all circumstances that would hound people at various times. This is written from the text of life rather than the text of a book. The wrestle of self-giving, self doubt and forgiveness are some of the healthy life texts that Cindy covers. She writes about life's best topics for those who would be sufficiently wise to audit their own lives. (Surely Socrates was correct when he taught the unexamined life is not worth living.)
The axiom that pervades Finding the Light of Jesus is Cindy's unshakeable belief that God's goodness to His own is still available in the land of the living (Ps 27:13-14).
Some of her prayers I have found to be more a third person piece of poetry rather than a singular expression of intimacy, nevertheless their content will stir the soul and appeal to the mind.
With her helpful exercises and questionings throughout this book it is clearly for the devoted and the desperate, the burdened and the blessed alike.
Cindy has secured something for almost everyone in this vault worth stealing from.
