Okay. Most reviews are going to be about the book...of course. This review is going to be about how God used this book, and by nature of what happened to me, hopefully speack volumes as to the quality of Enemies of the Heart.
Here is the situation.
I am 46. I am overweight. I need to get in shape, and try to loose some pounds. I have known this for a long time. Thats the setup.
Now...here is what happened.
My copy of the book was sent to me for review. I opened the box then went downstairs to switch over some laundry. Huffed and puffed my way back upstairs to the kitchen, and, as I always do. I just open the book to a random page. I do this because it gets me past the "hook" that usually occurs at the begining of a book and gets me to the true writing style and content.
What did I turn to? A passage about a guy named Brian, who suffers from reflux (as do I), is overweight (as am I), and is having some breathing and heart issues (as am I). The Doctor puts him on a regimen of walking thirty minutes a day three days a week (which is what my wife has said I need to do). He wants a quick fix for his heart...loose the weight...fix the heart. The passage ends with Brian really not getting it and the Doctor calling him an "idiot".
After reading this, I felt this big unseen finger tap me on the shoulder as if to say, "Can I make it any clearer".
I read the passage to my wife.
When I read the word idiot, she smiled.
This book if for nothing other than confirming what God wanted me to see (which is really the intent anyway) is 5 stars as determined by this self professed "idiot".
