Q.8 Write down a brief and concise review of any of the book which you have read recently other than your textbooks.
Answer-
It's always encouraging to come across an inspirational book that discusses human relationships. God will make a way is one of the rare books that I have read recently. It expresses practical suggestions on how to develop and improve relationships among human beings. The book recommends eight principles for dealing with persistent life problems that might at first appear hopeless. The eight principles are included in Part 1 of the book. Part II reveals the principles at work in areas of life such as marriage, parenting, addictions, and depression.
Authors Henry Cloud and John Townsend have worked as clinical psychologists, motivational speakers, and radio hosts of the nationally broadcast program, New Life Live! Their book is packed with real-life stories drawn from their extensive experience in the field of psychology and counseling. The book also includes interesting incidents from the authors' own personal lives.
As we face life difficulties, the authors suggest, having faith in ourselves is not enough. We try to solve problems as best we can, but we keep failing. We lack strength, knowledge, and resources. Most of the time, we don't have all the answers. We need something greater than ourselves to help us. Since God is limitless, he can show us the ways to live life.
I personally found the chapter on "Marriage and Relationships" useful for my life. The authors emphasized relying on God in building up a good strong marriage and developing empathy for your spouse. Cloud and Townsend write. And "Without empathy, none of us will grow, for no one can grow without feeling understood."
God will Make a way is an inspiring, refreshing, and hopeful book recommended for anyone who confronts challenging life problems and desires to have a satisfying relationship.
