Thumps up to a simply written, little big book

BY SALT ESSIEN-NELSON

Tesh is a student of God’s Word and it shows. She has put together a book of inspirational, faith lifting and instructive quotes for the reader. They find their source in Scripture but I believe Tesh is also sharing based on her own experiences. She knows God by herself and it shows.  That’s what I like the most I think.

Tesh has shared these quotes with us in eight sub sections. Quotes on who GOD IS,  come first. This makes perfect sense. God is the Alpha and Omega after all.

Reading these words and phrases describing who God is, reminding us of His traits and His abilities revs the spirit and stokes the confidence in those who call Him

Father. Then you have the I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES quotes via which Tesh shares her thoughts on what these acts are and are not and why God uses them in the lives of His children. The DIVINE PROTECTION quotes remind us to put our trust in God alone for our security. The times are perilous but those who dwell in God’s Secret Place need have no fear.  Other sections include PRAYER;  A BETTER TOMORROW; FREEDOM FROM SIN; AMAZING GRACE and FRIENDS WITH CHRIST.

Simple and direct. You can almost hear Tesh’s voice speaking to you, encouraging you, nudging you like a close friend or favourite Aunty intent on getting you to hide these words deep down.  For as long as we have these seemingly simple truths stored up in us, our feet will be on the enemy’s neck! I kept trying to tick off my favourites only to find I had ticked almost all the quotes in the book!

All in all, you have 100 short and simple faith-fixes! 100 apples of Gold set out just for you. You take a faith filled bite and any rumbling within your spirit should be calmed. You can read this compact 59 page book of quotes in less than a hour but the words will linger in your spirit for much longer. That’s why I call it the little BIG book. Little book. Big faith boost!
