Book Review - Thy Will Be Done On Earth by Robert Lloyd Russell

The author writes simply yet profoundly using two graphic models. The first is the "Christian Life Model," which develops key elements of what God wants from everyone of his children. The second half of the book is the "Christian Guidance Model," which shows how to determine God’s highest desire for you. While there are many written works on knowing the will of God and Christian decision making, this is by far the best I have found. I've been a Christian for many years and wish I had received this teaching as a young believer.

The book contains short chapters with many additional resources. It can be a great fast read or a very slow and contemplative read. First, I read though it quickly and then later read it very carefully. Now I plan to re-read it about every year or so. Thy Will Be Done On Earth would also make a good group study. It's also great to use when traveling or at other periods when you have limited blocks of time for reading.

The only potential negative point I'd like to make about the book is that it causes the reader to think about profound concepts. The ideas are simple and presented in a straightforward manner, but if someone wants to casually pass their time reading without thinking, they may not appreciate this book.

I'd like to know who else has read this book and what you thought about it. Please let me know by selecting the "Write a Review" button below.

Much as it is painful to express a minority view and be different, what I have to say is really negative but at the same time the gospel truth. The names of the two Christian ""graphic models"" referred to are sufficient to throw off any bona-fide disciple of the LORD Jesus! Why? Because God's will has no religious bias at all --not even Christain! (Joshua 5: 13-15; John 4: 21-26). The sooner we accept God's will as it is, the better we will all be and the world with us!!!!!!!!!!
