See, Hear, and Understand by Ida Dean, PhD is a boldly written and deeply illustrated Christian guidebook offering reputable points which aim to help believers grow in faith, prayer, and relationship with their Creator.
Author Dean begins by telling of the gruesome sufferings God pressed upon His begotten Son, Jesus Christ, so that His will may thrive, which included letting his children live free of misery and grief. Human beings had been alienated from Him and could not achieve that status until Christ reconciled them to God by offering Himself as the sacrificial offering for their misdoings. Dean asserts that the aforementioned kind of life must, however, be preceded by believing God exists, as well as constantly listening, accepting, and carrying out His commands in totality, in addition to standing boldly upon His Word. In this book, the author reveals practical revolutionary information which will bring a reader to a solid footing in what he or she sees, hears, and understands about God, which is a necessity for smooth sailing in life.
In short chapters, Dean shares explicit and easy-to-read details of this concept and much more, borrowing from profound and deeply researched scriptures vastly drawn from both New and Old Testament books. His commentary reveals the requirements for one to be written in God’s book of life, with emphasis given to purity and holiness. He also answers questions such as why man was created, the rewards of listening to the Spirit, and how God speaks to people, among other spiritual matters which are still misunderstood in Christian communities today; such as signs of the end times and how to live in a bent-out-of-shape world.
I loved the author’s expansive understanding of God’s will for His children and his longing for as many as will encounter this book to understand it. Every chapter ends with heartfelt proclamations and prayers which beautifully wrap up the deeply themed, faith-based topics. The book comprises numerous scriptural references, well organized around vital topics for Christian growth and development. The author’s choice of straightforward language will help you get the most out of the book, whether you are studying it alone, as part of a small group, or as part of a church wide initiative.
See, Hear, and Understand is without a doubt a book which will have you soon testify of the changes it has inspired in your walk of faith. I highly recommend it as a solid devotion for both new and mature Christian readers.
