The Land Between

Last night I finished the book, 'The Land Between.' It is a good book that talks about those times when we feel we're in the desert, the land between the slavery of the past and promise of the future. Pastor Jeff does a great job in pointing out the advantages that Israel never acknowledged that prepared them for the Promised Land. Jeff had mentioned how God had used those 40 years in the wilderness to prepare the children, and I remembered asking those that went to the Summit, how would God have prepared the children in such a short time if they had obeyed, and remember the quizzical looks that said, 'are you crazy for asking such a question?' .... never did get even a guess. I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if Jeff's speech at the Summit hadn't covered nearly 75% of the book; nonetheless its a good read. The book originated from a series of sermons. And its always fun to read a book from someone who lives close by. ENOY.
