Live, Move, and Have Our Being

Acts 17: 28 states, “In Him we live, and move, and have out being.” What does it mean to live in God, move in God, and have our being in God? In A Sudden Glory, Sharon Jaynes takes you on a journey of just what that is. Along the way she shares about something that most people experience at one time or another, a glory ache, the need and longing for something more, something more than we have or are experiencing with God. That longing can be satisfied with realizing the moments of sudden glory that we have all the time.

Sharon combines personal stories, Scripture, and stories of others she knew or had received messages from, to take you on this journey of discovering what it means to live, move, and have your being in God. She writes with an openness of herself that is refreshing and comforting. At times I found myself reading and thinking “I understand what she is saying.” Then at other times it was deeply touching, sometimes convicting, sometimes challenging, but always hopeful and promising. While reading this book I felt challenged to really think about sudden glory moments in my own life. It also made me really think about what it truly mean to live, move, and have out being in God.

 This is a book that I would recommend for any woman to read. It is also nice that included in the back of the book is a study guide that could be used for someone on their own or in a group setting.

I was given a free copy of this book to review by Watermark Multnomah Publishing.
