The Joy of Becoming God


Book Description

******* Appealing******* A great story teller******* Well put with a fun story******* A grander view of our possibilitiesThis profound parable of men and women confronting their own difficulties in realizing the force of God within themselves presents a challenging and incisive commentary on the nature of religion and human capabilities. The setting is a village in north east india, but the site would be anywhere in the universe, and the forest a trio of villagers need to go through to reach mysteriously appearing figures of Krishna, Jesus and Mohammed could be the thicket all humans pass through to experience a true religious awakening.After a number of lethal failures by the villagers, whose faith rises and falls as the drama ensues, the way to success and salvation is revealed by Vignesh, a gatekeeper to the forest which has dangerous man-eating beasts. Throughout the tale the insights in human consciousness are both dramatic and compelling."This book has helped me get on the road to an entirely new thought process. A very gratifying and enlightening analysis of how the mind can control everything that we see and or do. It has helped me to have a totally new belief in myself, my thoughts and my actions. I must say this is one of the most highly inspiring writings i have ever come across" B. Franklin USA"This book emphasizes a few revelations I have gained throughout my life. In brief: Man has two key motivators - faith and fear... and God's provision allows us to negotiate through these motivators successfully when we chose to align ourselves with his spirit. The sole purpose for man is communion and fellowship - a longing and living experience of intimacy with God and with self. Touching story and a great message in troubled times..." Frank Soto USA

But Jerry Bridges shows how the fear of the Lord is actually the key that opens the door to a life of true knowledge, wisdom, blessing, and joy. We all want a deeper, more intimate relationship with God–one that’s characterized by joy. But how does fearing God lead to joy?

Join him as he unveils the awesome greatness of God–His incredible holiness, deep wisdom, and especially His inspiring love. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of who God is that will draw you into a truly biblical, and surprisingly delightful, fear of God–a fear that includes your own genuine, heartfelt delight in God. You’ll make the startling discovery that the fear of the Lord, far from being something to avoid, is the key to joyful, fulfilling, and genuine intimacy with God.
