In this book Mandy Lender takes The Law of Attraction, a subject that is controversial and somewhat confusing, and goes to the Bible to see God’s view. He uses Habakkuk 2:1-4 as his text for explaining the biblical view.
As the author explains these verses, he tells us that we first need to have a vision: that we are to have an open mind, and God will spark ideas of the mind for that vision. He uses Proverbs 29:18: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” The second thing is to write down that vision: write down goals, intents and petitions of that vision. The third is to wait for the vision: the time between the intents and petitions (asking in prayer) is an important time to reconsider your vision. And the fourth thing is having faith in your vision and believing the vision will come to pass. For each of these things, the author describes them in detail, using more Bible verses and ideas to prove what he says.
This is a confusing subject for me, but this is what I understand the author is teaching: We can’t just have the vision, thinking it will come with anything on our part. I know the Lord will direct our path in our visions, but He wants us to come before Him in prayer asking for what we want; and He wants us to have faith enough to believe in Him and trust Him.
I would recommend this book to anyone to read. It is small, attractive, easy to read, and has study questions for each chapter in the back of the book. Also, some of the Bible verses are in picture form of the King James Bible 1611, with the sixteenth century English spelling style, which I enjoyed very much!
