There must be special seasons in our lives when we break out of routine and do something that will ignite our faith about God and our identity in Christ.
This book will be a catalyst to help you:
Take control of your future Learn the power of declaring truth Strengthen your faith foundation Develop transforming daily customs Radically increase personal hope Go on a forty day negativity fast
This is a brilliant book that is full of wisdom and seeing the truth as we need to see it and believe it. I'm a big fan of both Wendy and Steve and have so much freedom by learning to declare God's truth, love and freedom over my life. Enjoy this book and grab hold of the truths in it. There is so much freedom when you start to declare who God says you are.
If freedom is something you desire then this book will help you come into the place of freedom in knowing who God says you are. I picked the five star rating because I believe we need more books like this one in the world. I also suggest "Let's just laugh at that". Another great book by Steve Backlund.
Igniting Faith in 40 Days, by Steve & Wendy Backlund, is a devotional that promotes a negativity fast aka positivity feast while "igniting faith". It includes several steps. You read the devotional, speak declarations and read specific chapters in the Bible. It does not take very long to do each of those unless of course you want to take longer. It depends on how long one desires to spend there.
I seldom do declarations, but I found the importance in speaking them through this study. I think the declarations were the best part. They "ignited" something in me. There were also great tidbits sprinkled throughout the devotionals. I recommend this devotional if you are looking for something styled a little different than most of the devotionals I have seen. I recommend it if your looking to ignite your faith.
I enjoyed this 40 day journey of increasing faith. At the beginning it really did feel weird declaring all these promises and believing them but God really spoke to me through these devotional and declarations and now in my heart and mind I truly believe all these promises.
Analysing this as a literary piece would probably be unfair to it's original intent and purpose. Think of it more as an exercise book than a treatise. While some of the points made in it resonated with me more than others, the ethos behind it is great.
It's central premise is that a positive mindset is a important and life-affirming perspective, and there are basic things one can do in daily life to promote that in one's self. This basic principle is not just a post-modern "feel good" precept but also a ancient biblical mandate. While this can often clash and sound flippant, as sorrow and pain are in themselves experiences from which we can learn, they are not aims in themselves.
I like this book a lot! it was short, to the point, and practical. I bet the Bucklands would be really cool to hang out with so I looked them up and I have heard him speak before -on Ibethel.tv just a few month's ago! I read this book a year ago and didn't even know it was him. He was hilarious. Him and his wife were down to earth and were talking about laughing at lies -brilliant! :)
A really helpful book for me. Perhaps I didn't experience ignition in this experience because there are already flames. it's always good to journey through stuff like this with others and share perspectives.
