Review: In The Meantime
Have you ever sat and wondered when God is going to lead you into the fulfillment of your God ordained calling? Have you been tempted to break out of your cubicle, tell the boss what you really think, and embark on your “life’s true calling”? If you answered yes or even maybe to any of the above questions, then I have the book for you. It is called In the Meantime, the Practice of Proactive Waiting” and it is by my friend and Pastor Rob Brendle.
In this book, Rob Brendle gives us a humorous look into the inner workings of his mind, and into his past. I can assure you that we all have something to relate to when it comes to Pastor Brendle and his life. Interwoven into this amusing, and sometimes tear jerking story, is the life of David. From David the shepherd boy, who one day out of no where was anointed King, to the warrior poet spending years hiding in the wilderness. Rob Brendle mines the scriptures for those subtle pieces of wisdom that unless we are truly looking for, we will miss completely.
This book will teach you how to embrace the stage of life that you are in and how maybe; just maybe, it could be part of the ultimate plan God has for you. Pastor Brendle takes the time to show the intricacies that exist between our daily walk with God, and our “big picture” calling. He provides many examples of when biblical characters “manhandle the plan” and God’s blessing decrease or stop entirely. By utilizing these examples he builds a case for wandering in the wilderness, and instead of praying “Lord, release me from the wilderness” praying “Lord, teach me what I must learn in the wilderness and your will be done”
This humorous, and all too timely of a book will challenge you to change the paradigm of your thinking towards God, life, and your calling. If you are reading this saying “I do not know my calling” do not worry, Pastor Rob can help you there to.
I challenge you to read this book. It is not a deeply theological book, it is not dauntingly lengthy (218 pages), but if you listen to the wisdom of the book I guarantee your life will change, your relationships will deepen and your mind will be freed from the ‘you will never be good enough” lie that Satan just loves to throw our way.
