It is seldom that we at The Christian Book Review Blog present books from outside the realm of academic publishing. However, when requested to review Keon Lindsey’s latest, Have You Heard from God Lately: 30 Messages from Heaven to You, we readily accepted.
Lindsey is not a biblical scholar in the purest sense. Yet, he has well-respected academic credentials. He is simply a man who loves the Lord, studies the Scriptures with great determination and purpose, and likes to write about what God has taught him. One can easily tell that this book follows that pattern.
First a word of reassurance. Don’t be put off by the title. This volume is not about a new revelation that Lindsey has received from God. All of Lindsey’s comments are heavily supported by Scripture and Scripture alone. Furthermore, they are theologically conservative.
Have You Heard from God Lately falls into several classifications. First, and foremost, it is evangelistic. Whether you are a born-again Christian or not, one cannot read this volume without making a self-examination of one’s relationship with God. As alluded to the book has a heavy dependence on Scripture with Lindsay’s thoughts pertaining to that Scripture, all of which are theologically conservative.
Second, with thirty short chapters (most are 4-6 pages), this book is an ideal devotional. It does not take a great period of time or involve extensive mental gymnastics to read and digest Lindsey’s thoughts. It would serve well as a family devotional or perhaps even a volume for a Sunday School class.
Third, it is theology light. The theology focuses mainly on the doctrine of God and His characteristics and attributes. But don’t be frightened by the word “theology.” There is no heavy-duty theological impetus. Lindsey simply explains who God is and why He loves us, supporting all of his beliefs with Scripture.
I would highly recommend this book for all Christians. I found it ideal for new believers who desire to engage with the Bible without getting overloaded with theology.
Check this out on Amazon.
