The Stronghold of G_d

Well written simple logic reveals the how not-complex knowing our Lord really is. I feel this book was written by the Holy Spirit for those who believe. For those who do not have that much faith yet...it was surely written with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Whatever you personal convictions are this book will deeply touch anyone who reads it at thier very core.

Proving God's truths in the testing bed of tough times

Any review of this book that starts from the premise that Francis Frangipane glosses over how hard life can be has missed the point of the book. Francis' view is that when we get into an intimate relationship with God that everything else springs from there. So if you are in a hard place in life, however tough, the Word of God and - more than that - God himself are both still true. God does not choose sin, people do that - even if it means that we are sometimes on the receiving end of some very tough stuff from other people - and have committed serious sins ourselves. We are not robots, God gives us free choice. We can, as Francis points out in the book, always do as we see in Revelation Chapter 12, go into the presence of God. Even when we've failed. There is the place that we find healing and not just the reality of what needs healing, but the truth - because truth and reality are not the same. The reality is that God created each one of us to be able to have a relationship with Him and not as sinful people. But we can come to Him even when we have failed in major ways. We don't have to earn it or prove we've changed in any way. The Prodigal Son parable and the saving of the thief on the cross demonstrate that we need not live having to prove we're different before God will step in - if we invite Him and do so when we have reached the very end of ourselves and stop trying to measure up. When we submit to Him, he changes us bit by bit so that we are healed and permanently changed. And in the book, Francis does reveal he had a very tough time in his marriage when it seemed they could not find compatibility between themselves, but they looked to God who changed them. If that isn't a hard place to come through and find the truths in this book, it is hard to see just how hard it needs to get before Francis shows he has lived and learned these truths and proven God to be faithful even when life is really tough.

Excellent Author

I have read many of Francis' books and have enjoyed them all. This one is the same. It reminds you of what is important in a relationship with God. Easy to read and follow.

MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

I loved the author's introduction and I quote, "Has God provided for us a Christian equivalent to the ark He provided Noah?" Ah! Now that caught my attention, could it be so, I wanted to know and I wanted to know where this stronghold of protection was. I was interested!

Francis Frangipane takes you out of pretense into reality at the onset of this work; explaining our walk to Horeb, where we are allowed to be real with God and our feelings about what is happening to us. We breath a sigh of relief knowing we can release our frustrations and fears and we breath in a breath of hope as the author assures us that God has a place of safety from all we are experiencing.

The author takes you on a journey, using men of old from the Bible as examples to bring you out of the many negative emotions that are trying to cripple you and leads you to a knowledge of knowing how to run under the shelter of God's stronghold of protection during trials and tribulations that life brings upon us all.

I would do this book an injustice to try and review the countless helps Mr. Frangipane gives the reader to obtain this desired result, but believe me he
definitely gives you all the information you need to run into God's Stronghold.

If you are a Christian that is feeling overwhelmed by the world that we are living in; if you are seeking the promises of a God who loves you,and the protection His Word speaks of, then this book is for you.

We all need a safe harbor, and for those that are His, there is no safer place than the Stronghold of God. This book will show you the way. It is a journey you will want to take.

A new level...

I just finished the book. I don't know what to say but I will try. I have been asking God to bring me a new level of Him and I just happened to find this book at my library and what I have asked for has come to pass. I know it is God and not the book but we recieve answers in many ways. The spiritual aspects of this book are mind boggling and amazing but now I have to put them into my heart through prayer and obedience. I am ready for this breakthrough and I am amazed by my Lord and Savior, the King of Kings, Jehovah God!
