by Selwyn Hughes (ISBN: 9780805440485)
I picked up this book (and it was difficult to find, bought used through Amazon.com) because our pastor decided to do a sermon series on it.
Right up front I am going to give you the 7 laws (no surprise - they are listed in the table of contents):
1. First Things First
2. Count Your Blessings
3. Keep On Keeping On
4. Remember to Forget
5. Give Yourself to Others
6. Stay Close to God
7. Cultivate Your Soul
Each of these laws could be a book of their own right, but Hughes figured out how to narrow them down to a chapter each. The last part of this book is actually a workbook based on the chapters by Jennifer Oldroyd. It can be used by you personally or with a group.
There is nothing "out there" in this book, just good solid Biblical based information. It is a good basic book with some good parables and easily understood information. Basic is the key word. I enjoyed it nonetheless, but I think the sermon series enhanced the reading greatly. I hope others in our congregation actually read the book, but they would have gotten enough from the sermons.
Happy Reading.
