Have you ever wondered what Jesus meant by an abundant life? Do you ever feel as if everyone else is favored by God but you've been left out? In The Promise of Provision, Derek Prince points out that in order to experience God's abundance, we must first have an understanding of our sinful condition and exactly what abundance is. God is a God of blessing, abundance (giving us more than enough), and promises kept. If we are not seeing and feeling God's abundance in our lives, it is most likely because of our own motives or actions, not because God is withholding all good things from us.
Mr. Prince has broken the book down into five principal parts: Understanding Abundance, Five Principles of Provision, Three Practical Steps to Take, Five Conditions for God's Abundance, and The Right Investment. He uses scripture throughout the text and expounds on it, letting the reader know that his writing is based on the truth of God's Word. While the first two sections are necessary for all readers to be on the same page with the author, I think you will find the later three sections will speak to your heart and cause you to examine your own heart and life.
Not being so much of a non-fiction reader and usually reading at night before retiring, I did find the text a bit difficult to read at times. However, as I stated above, there are sections in the last half of the book which will encourage any reader to closely examine how they are spending their time and money as well as encourage them to step out in faith to accept the inheritance Christ has bought with the ultimate price.
I did receive this book from Chosen Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
