My first exposure to Dr. Hawkins was viewing him on the Huckabee TV show on TBN during December 2018. I liked his enthusiasm for wanting to assist people to know, understand and meditate on God's word, the Holy Bible. Then he hooked me in by adding, "All royalties from this book are donated to Mission:Dignity, which helps retiree missionaries, ministers, workers, and their spouses." With many books sitting on my shelf begging to be read, another book was NOT in my plans. But, it was in His plans. Always wanting to support missionaries, I came home with three books for my bookshelf. Well, I started reading VIP:Very Influential Person and am still reading. I am using the other two books as morning and evening devotionals. None of the three are gathering dust on the book shelf.
The following is a quote on John 3:16 from chapter 2, page 23, unknown, yet wise old sage:
For God . . . the greatest Lover
so loved . . . the greatest degree
the world . . .the greatest company
that He gave . . .the greatest act
His only begotten Son . . . the greatest gift
that whoever . . .the greatest opportunity
believes . . . the greatest simplicity
in Him . . . the greatest attraction
should not perish . . . the greatest promise
but . . . the greatest difference
have . . . the greatest certainty
everlasting life . . . the greatest possession
Each chapter is very short, but powerful. Go slow! Take time to read, study and meditate!!!
