Background Knowledge:
The Book of Genesis describes Hagar as an Egyptian slave, concubine of Abraham, mother of Ishmael, and a woman who came to know the true God. She fell short while serving her mistress and faced many challenges, but God helped her overcome them.
Like Hagar, we too as Christians have shortcomings and challenges to handle. This book shows us that Hagar's life journey is similar to our Christian journey. We are subject to service as she was, and are not excluded from tackling the challenges associated with serving.
Our "Hagar" Season is experienced on a phased basis. With each phase comes challenges. We need God's help to overcome like Hagar, or the challenges will overcome us.
The challenges, however, pulled out the best in Hagar, and so they will pull out the best in us. This self-help book provides Reflection Points and Mini Help Guides that will assist you in overcoming the challenges of your Christian journey. (From Goodreads)
Review:
~I'd like to thank the author for sending me a free copy in exchange for my honest review!~
This was a great book, comparing our lives to Hagar's. I've learned a lot from it, and it's a book I'll definitely be coming back to. The author's testimonies were a great touch, it made the book really come alive. Also, at the end of each chapter there were questions and a study guide, so it could be used as a devotional/study as well.
Definitely recommended!
