review 1: Yawning At Tigers presents a fuller perspective of who is God. It points out how the majority of people only look at one or two aspects of God's character. Basically explaining how people have brought God closer to our own level, rather than the level God is actually at. Therefore resulting in God not receiving the true and full reverence and fear that is due Him.I discovered many truths in Yawning At Tigers. It allowed me to take a closer look at the holiness and righteousness of God. There are two areas which spoke to me in this book. One area involves the questions which should be asked upon someone feeling led to Christ, in order to see if their heart is truly in it. The other area involves a section on God's love which reminded me of the times in my life when I was tr... moreying many things to fill the empty puzzle piece space within me. The only thing I did end up finding which could truly fill that space was Jesus Christ.I found it to be hard to put Yawning At Tigers down each time I picked it up. There are Biblical events and references made throughout the book, supporting and explaining the message being presented. I recommend this book to all.BookLook Bloggers has provided me with a complimentary copy/advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
review 2: Yawning at Tigers. The title grabbed my attention. The book itself grabbed my spirit. I find myself yawning at God. We are so full of hearing God is grace, mercy, forgiveness, and love that we ignore that He is HOLY, and He calls us to be the same. This book brings us back into balance. As Dyck says, he begins with God because today even our worship time focuses on US; then he works his way through the God of wrath and what that means to the God of love and what that means in the context of His whole self--the "God of the Old Testament." The product is thought-provoking and encouraging. A meaty read for the yawning Christian! less
