Grow Up, Church

I have known Gloire for more than 10 years now. We went to college together, played basketball together, we've prayed together, and we have both seen each other's families grow one kid at a time. We have both seen each other in our lowest points and in our highest points. You really get to see someone's true character at their lowest point. For Gloire, he never changed who he was in Christ when at his lowest point. He never stopped following Christ, when he was completely justified to do so during the toughest battles of his life. His devotion to God is unmatched, his love for his family is evident, and his loyalty to his friends is like no other. He is a man of the Word, and a man of prayer, and a man passionate for the bride of Christ.In his book, there is a Jeremiah 6:16 feel, where the Lord said, "Ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." Generally speaking, I believe the church has strayed away from the original path God intended. In this book, I believe Gloire, through deep research and prayer, has done a fine job redirecting the church back to the ancient paths. I believe every church and seminary should adopt this book in their libraries, courses, and discipleship programs. God has truly breathed on this book!

His life of integrity and heart of passion is contiguous. I met Gloire in college with a group of students who were sold out for Jesus. He led prayers meetings where miracles, signs, and wonders happened regularly. His impact on my life is beyond my ability to describe. I have watched Gloire grow over the years and the tools he provides in this book are not just from his mind and heart, but from real experience. This book is very beneficial to anyone called to leadership or even those who desire to mature and develop on a personal level. Gloire does a great job with providing quality information and examining the reading through assessments within the book. Every individual should experience growth when finished reading this book.

You never really know someone until you've had the opportunity to live under the same roof. In 2015 Gloire and his family moved in with me. As they lived at my house I grew spiritually in many ways. He never sugar coated anything while he stayed with me yet every time, he finished speaking to me, although it was challenging at times, I still knew he cared. His book is an embodiment of his heart for the church.The church of the end times must grow up. We need to start seeking solid food and stop being kept alive by milk. This book is an amazing book to chew on daily. It is filled with biblical knowledge and spirit-led teachings that all believers need in these days. Enjoy and soak up each word!
