About the Book:
Words! Words! Words!
Words all over the place.
We don’t always realize how powerful words are, or how we’ve come to
accept the words other people have used to describe us.
Accusing, blaming, and degrading words are the worst of all.
After hearing those words over and over again, we begin to feel the weight of
them threatening to crush the very life out of us.
Buried Beneath the Words cleverly shares a true life story
about the different ways someone can end up buried beneath the weight of
negative words. Then it shares a Christian course for how God’s word can revive
us. By putting the advice given within these pages into practice, you will
experience an awakening of the real you—the you that has been buried way too
long.
My Thoughts:
“Meditate on God’s word. Have faith in God’s word. Digest God’s word. Rely on God’s word and
your confessions, your mouth, your words, and your heart will begin to line up
with what God says about you. You will see a change.” (p.71)
Words are
powerful. They impart life and death.
This has been true since God spoke the world into existence. God is speaking life today through His word,
His people, His Holy Spirit…we just have to listen to His life giving words and
learn to be deaf to the damaging words that come to us from the world. Betel Arnold learned this in a dramatic, transformational
way, and she wants to share what God has taught her as she has learned to
listen to the truth of God’s Word.
Arnold’s
book takes the reader on a journey of self-examination in her book Buried Beneath the Words. Each chapter reveals a false way of thinking.
The only way we can think if we are unaware of the truth of God’s word. Arnold asks the reader to ponder and remember
the words that have damaged them over their lifetime, then using God’s word,
she leads them to the life-giving truth that counters the false words that have
buried their God-given potential.
My favorite
parts of each chapter are the sections of Mind Overhaul sections. Arnold unpacks a truth, using God’s word and
personal experience, to relate ways that you can overcome the mountain of words
that have buried you for so many years.
She want to lead you to the freedom that can only be found in God’s
word.
This is not
a lengthy, deeply theological book.
Rather, this is a succinct and very direct path that Arnold uses to
direct readers back into God’s word. She
claims no secret to success or magic shortcut to a life that is all daisies and
roses. She is honest and tells those who
read her book not to be surprised if circumstances don’t immediately
reverse. Rather, she encourages faithfulness
to speak and declare God’s word over every area of your life. God transforms and renews your mind through
His word, and often that results in a change in life circumstances.
This is a
power-packed little book that I recommend for every believer. God wants to transform your life! Dive into
His word!
