Irresistible To God

by Steve Gallagher

Unquestionably, some Christians enjoy favored status with God. "To this one I will look," Jehovah declared, "to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word." What an astonishing statement! The Almighty looking to a human being! Yet, there is much within the human heart that exalts itself against God and keeps Him at a distance. Before a person can come into intimate contact with this Holy God, he must first be purged of the hideous cancer of pride that lurks deep within his heart. "This book is a road map that shows the arduous but rewarding way out of the pit of pride and into the green pastures of humility. Here is the place of blessing and favor with God," says Steve Gallagher. Humility is the key that opens the door into the inner regions of intimacy with God. Irresistible to God unfolds the mystery that God is indeed drawn to the one who is crushed in spirit, broken by his sin, and meek before the Lord and others.

Probably up there with one of the books every true Christian needs to read.

"But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word." (Is 66:2)

Pride is the one sin that God says he directly opposes - more than greed or any vices. Humility is something all the great men of God in the past possessed. This books goes into depth about how insidious pride is. Yet in our society we wear pride as a coat of honor.

I've got a lot of flaws and bad habits. But even as a child, I can remember having an air of arrogance. Even as a young adult I was called a snob because I'm introverted and don't talk a lot, combined with being "confident" in what I know and believe. This books helps expose all of that.

It's not a feel good book. It's not a book to gloss over either. If you want to be someone who's irresistible to God and reap the benefits of it, read this book. And if you take it seriously, it will cost you yourself - which is a small price to pay for being one who God looks upon.
