Like Him by Julia Stevens

Powerful

Like Him by Julia Stevens is a powerful Christian nonfiction book that will aid your walk of faith. It is full of scripture, poems, prayers, sound biblical advice and the author’s personal experiences.

Julia Stevens writes in a very personable way, making Like Him accessible for all. She explains some of the biblical happenings and backgrounds. I particularly liked the meanings of names including those of Jesus.

We learn about the heart of God. “Our Father… cares about the little things that matter so much to us all.” Nothing is too small for the concern of God. If it matters to us, it matters to Him.

God desires us to come to Him, rest in Him and learn from Him. We are to live in faith and love which will push fear aside. We can all come to God just as we are because of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. “You are qualified through the Cross of Jesus.” We merely need to say yes to God because Jesus has already paid for our sins on the cross.

When we know God, our bodies become His temples. “We are a sanctuary for Him to inhabit.” As such, we need to be aware of what we put into our bodies and how we treat them.

We need to feed daily on His word. “Daily connection, prayer and worship is a key to being a habitation of the Lord.” As we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. It is all about relationship.

Prayer is our communication with God. We must be sure to listen and not just to speak. Relationship with anyone, and especially God, should be a dialogue and not a monologue.

Julia Stevens shares her testimony in chapter twelve as well as her experiences throughout. There are times when God speaks through visions as well as when He speaks to her heart.

Like Him was a really powerful book. It is perfect for individual study or for connect groups to work through together. This book has the power to aid your walk with God, to help you draw closer to the heart of the Father.

I received a free copy. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
