Bigger Lessons: Mastering the Curriculum of My Walk with God
Angela Perkins invites readers on a deeply personal and transformative journey through her spiritual growth, marked by trials, triumphs, and painful life lessons. Through a combination of storytelling, Biblical reflection, and candid introspection, she explores how God shapes and nurtures His children, using life's everyday challenges as tools for growth.
The book is divided into three parts:
In the Beginning, God Created Me, Myself, and I
This section focuses on Angie's early struggles with self-centeredness, resistance to God's will, and obstacles to consistency in her faith. Through personal stories about marriage, family, and career, she reveals how God's patience and grace has redirected her path, even when she insisted on her own way.
The Slaying of Me, Myself, and I
The second part delves into moments of deep refinement, as she grapples with obedience, trust, and surrender in the most difficult areas of her life. Sharing vulnerable reflections, she demonstrates how God's discipline and guidance not only corrected her course but ignited significant growth in her relationship with Him.
Reflecting on Your Own Curriculum
In the final section, readers are encouraged to apply the lessons shared in the book to their own lives. Thoughtful journaling prompts inspire readers to identify God's hand in their own stories, embrace His discipline, and strive for a closer walk.
Angie's heartfelt desire is to inspire others to recognize and reflect on the lessons God teaches them through their own journeys. By encouraging readers to look inward and seek God's purpose in every experience, she hopes to guide them toward their own path for deeper spiritual growth.
Throughout the book, Angie highlights how God's personality-His humor, love, and unwavering faithfulness-mirrors that of a caring parent, always nudging His children toward holiness and spiritual maturity. Bigger Lessons is a heartfelt testament to the power of faith, surrender, and the wisdom we gain when we fully commit to God's curriculum for our lives.
This book was written for Christians seeking encouragement in their faith journey and those yearning to discover God's purpose for life's trials.
