Made For His Pleasure by Alistair Beggs
It wasn't until after I read the book I discovered it wasn't a current writing...it was written 20 years ago! But you won't know that while reading it. The culture described in the book is even more accurate as a description of today's "self"-minded society than it was then! Alistair Begg challenges his readers to examine themselves and ensure that they are walking a true life in the Spirit. He parallels our spiritual health with a physical check-up. He compares marriage to a lengthy flight in an airliner. His description of "sacrifice" flies in the face of a society that no longer knows the meaning of the word. The book is a contrast between living in this world but choosing to live for the world to come. As a longtime believer and ardent follower of Christ and the message of God's Word, I could not put this book down. I will be reading it again...and probably again. Because it is full of Scriptures...full of foundational truths
