Book Review
James L Paris
It is
amazing how God can bring insights to you just when you need them. Skeptics would say it isn’t that God reveals
these things to you when you need them, but that you are just more focused on
finding things that are related to your situation because that is where your
mind is.
.
The
author, James L. Paris, introduces us to the great financial times he had,
followed by his hardships. He went from
being a multi-millionaire to being almost homeless virtually overnight.
This
is a hard situation to be in and is especially embarrassing when you make your
living being a Christian financial counselor.
As a child in financial crisis, Mr. Paris saw the best of Christianity
with people who sent help in the form of money orders signed “A Friend.”
He
also saw the worst of Christianity, with pastors refusing to allow him to speak
in their churches because Mr. Paris dared to mention bankruptcy and divorce in
his radio broadcasts.
When
you have plenty of money, you have plenty of friends. When you have no money, oftentimes, all you
have is a group of people who offer what they think are well-meaning words of
wisdom, but are really words that hurt.
Mr.
Paris shows us that there is a way out.
The way probably isn’t the way we are expecting. Sometimes God sends us help in the most
unlikely of ways. We may expect one
thing and get it in a completely different way.
