Andrew Wommack

NCLA Review - Andrew Wommack is not advocating Bible study or Bible reading. He’s advocating Bible absorption—taking God’s Word into one’s heart and life so fully that it transforms you. Structuring his book on the Parable of the Sower, he sees Christians as the ground in which the seed of scripture is planted. If we try to change on our own, we are seldom successful, but as we nurture God’s seed within us by accepting and meditating upon it and yielding to the Holy Spirit, we will find ourselves becoming more Christlike, eventually bearing a harvest of the fruit of the Spirit. Wommack’s message is urgently needed in our time when so many spout—but do not live—scripture. It’s easy and engaging reading, though somewhat repetitious. My only misgiving is that the author’s Pentecostal beliefs, though peripheral to his message, might prove off-putting to many readers. But his “cherries” are delicious; just spit out any “pits” you can’t swallow. Rating: 3 —DKW… (meer)
