To the jaded eye, the title of the book 'Life Lessons - A Christian Sharing'
may not bode well. Clearly, most of us are increasingly wary of being lectured
to or taught any lessons; let alone life lessons! But this book shares a
message that undoubtedly merits attention.
A compilation of articles written by
speaker, author, blogger and admittedly a proud Christian, Ignatius Fernandez,
this book, like a ‘Best of the Best’ music album, delights and delivers at the
same time.
One of the reasons why this book works is
that almost every page is punctuated with questions that prompt some level of
soul-searching. Some questions tread softly. Some confront. But they
continually strengthen the case that the author is trying to build. And
thankfully, this is not a case built on convoluted arguments or long-winded
analysis. In a series of clear, concise and convincing articles, the author
shares his view of Jesus’ teachings as life lessons to be cherished and acted
on.
In an age of diminishing attention spans,
brevity is always welcome. But in this book, it does not come from glossing
over essentials. Thumbing through virtually any page yields rich dividends.
Grounding ideals to real life is not easy.
But with apt anecdotes, a liberal dose of personal experience and practical
advice, the author helps readers apply the life lessons to real life
situations. So alongside insights into praise, forgiveness and sharing, you
will also come across insights into refreshingly everyday concerns – managing
money, making your marriage work and disciplining children effectively. And it
is obvious that the author has spent some time thinking about these concerns.
A compilation of articles, written over time
and for different publications, runs the risk of being disjointed. But in this
case, the logical grouping of articles under specific themes unifies the
message.
Not to be missed!
