Want Answers, Look Within

I've heard and read Sampson's story several, but reading Take A Look Within connected me to Sampson's story on a more insightful and personal level. Elder Dane Cunningham takes Sampson's life and not only compares it to his own experiences to demonstrate his growth as a result of looking within, but he also helps the reader see how important it is to understand how our experiences (positive and negative) contribute to who we are and why we do what we do. I particular like how his use of this biblical character helps us to relate to God's Word on a more individual level so it becomes more than just a bible story. In his writing, Elder Cunningham helps us to see that without taking that critical look within we won't live in the purpose God has ordained for us individually and collectively. I encourage readers to open up to the teachings of Take A Look Within and begin on the road of unveiling which will ultimately draw us closer to God and allow us to draw closer to others.

Eye-opening

Take A Look Within is eye-opening. You'll see yourself in a different light and want to seek a closer relationship with God to make changes in your life. It's an easy read that I think you will enjoy.

Examining the "man in the mirror"

Within every Christian is the desire to improve their walk with God. We all wish for and constantly strive to become closer to God. Dane Cunningham's very insightful book will help us to determine those things that may hinder us from being all that we can be spiritually. He invites us to take spiritual inventory of the relationships in our lives. He uses the story of Samson as a analogy. The author challenges us to take a look at our inner man -- our personality, character and temperament. We should then be able to identify where our strengths and weaknesses lie. We are then asked to take a look at our soul, which is comprised of our will, intellect, emotions, memory and imagination. Our soul has needs that have to be met in order for us to be fulfilled. Through prayer we are able to understand the needs of our soul and God is the one who can help us to identify how to meet those needs. The author also mentions we have soul ties, which are connections we make to other sources through the components of our soul in order to fulfill our need for relationships. Some of the soul ties we have in our lives are ungodly. These should be identified and removed because they can cause damage to our relationship with God. Cunningham walks us through this self-examination showing us the issues of our heart and our sin nature. All the while he is using the life of Samson to help the reader identify areas in their life where they may not measure up to what God would have us be. I would recommend this book to anyone who is seeking a closer walk with God. I gained a lot of knowledge about myself just by taking a look within.
