Happy Day - Another book!!!

11am (AAHHHH!!! We're late for work!) Mr. Wong Tai Loong must be wondering where is his 2 staffs.
So there starts my journey of my cg offering counting. Today the boss brought us a helper - Mr. Andrew from the Moscow Students Fellowship. Indeed we managed to finish it faster! :D
*counting counting counting*
"Riiiiiiinnnnngg (Nokia ringtone)" Hazel's phone rang. Her mummy called. So as my part of the job was finished, I wandered into Attributes to check out the books.
*Scanning Scanning Scanning*
*Ting!!!! (Light bulb ligthed up)* a small little black book caught my eyes.
After flipping for some time, I turned to the back to check the price. Invest?(I just bought a book few days ago) Answer? YES!
As excited as I was, I continued scanning the book shelves.
*Ting!!!* another book caught my attention.
Title: The Second Part for The Man in The Mirror (something like that. I can't remember)
Suddenly I thought of a close friend who could relate to the book. So I thought perhaps I could bless that friend. But as I continue to explore the book, I realized its for men in the midlife. My friend is certainly not at that stage yet. So that middle-sized yellow book went back to the shelf again.

Joey wasn't around. So I went back to work and at the same time wait for him to come back so that I can pay for my NEW BOOK!
*Minutes later*
Joey is back! So with all excitement I went to pay for my book. (Dancing around in my heart)
I can't wait to quickly finish, pack up and start reading.
Now then, the boss came in. Oh it's salary giving time!
Guess what.. my salary was the price of the book I just bought! Woo Hoo!
I've earned myself a book today!!!

Ok Ok. I know you must be thinking "So what book did you bought actually?"

*Jeng Jeng Jeng*

Title: Spiritual Warfare for Every Christian by Dean Sherman
Ahem.. Ahem.. I have a clarification to make. The cover of my book TOTALLY DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THIS. This was the picture I found online.
Mine is a black cover with red metalic writings and a cool knight on it. (Will show you guys next time after I snap a photo of it)
Here's a brief review of the book I found online.

"God has called Christians to overcome the world and drive back the forces of evil and darkness at work within it. Spiritual warfare isn't just casting out demons; it's Spirit-controlled thinking and attitudes. Dean delivers a no-nonsense, both-feet-planted-on-the-ground approach to the unseen world."

So have you read the book? How was it?

Yes.. I've finished one and a half chapters. My point of view.... The review that on top was TOO BRIEF. I was totally blown away by the first one and a half chapters. In every sub-chapter there is something for me to learn and digest. This little book is pointing out one of the MAJOR KEY that is missing in most of our lives. Something that we have been ignorant about - The call of God for us to attack the kingdom of the devil and to break and destroy all their evil plans. By saying this, the author is saying that though we have weekend services and cell group meetings etc we may not be neccesary challenging and attacking the kingdom of the devil. We are not neccesarily doing something that will stop the works of the devil. *Whoah* Big revelation to me. This book teaches us to not only defend and protect ourselves from spiritual attacks but to actually GO OUT AND DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL.

This book is not a book based only on studies and researches of the author, but it is built upon the author's own life experience and of course the most powerful Word of God.
Be it Christians or non Christians, the kingdom of the devil is not a stranger to us. But yet how much do we know about it? It's crucial for all of us to know what is opposing us and do something about it. So.. GET THE BOOK! (The last one in Attributes is in my house right now *Oops*) haha.. If you're interested, try asking Joey Sia or searching other bookstores alright?

Want more review about the book? Want to know what I've learnt from it? Stay tuned, sit back and wait then.

P/s: I think it would be better if you yourself can get your own personal revelation from the book. Trust me. You'll be blown away. =)
