Breaking Free from Our Fallen Nature
Just as the unexpected crash of this tree reverberated through the community, laying bare the decay concealed beneath the surface, the seemingly minor disruptions in our lives often serve as poignant reminders of the hidden vulnerabilities in our own foundations. It’s in these moments of turmoil that we’re confronted with the unsettling truth: that the very core of our being may harbor decay. When we acknowledge that our stumbles are not merely incidental but symptomatic of inner corruption, many of us instinctively seek solace beyond ourselves.
Within the pages of this enlightening tome, grounded in profound scriptural insights and woven with tales of divine intervention, lies a compelling revelation: that even amidst chaos, there exists a path to liberation. “Breaking Free from Our Fallen Nature” beckons us to introspect, challenging us to ascertain whether we’ve embraced a new essence and, if so, to wrestle with which nature reigns supreme. Through dismantling the falsehoods that ensnare us, this book invites us to cherish the transformative potency of our newfound being—a potency that transcends trials, vanquishes temptation, kindles joy, and fortifies our faith in the promise of everlasting life.
Customer Reviews
Escaping Our Fallen Nature by Pastor David Piper is a great book that connects our spirituality and what it means to be a good person to a tree that has fallen. Oftentimes when a tree falls in nature, there is some sort of outside influence that causes this to happen. A horrible storm, a flood, or in some cases something can happen to the roots which causes the tree to fail because it can no longer support itself. This last example is the focus of this book and how people can also fall because they allowed something to destroy their foundation so they could no longer hold themselves up. The book offers many strategies, all through a Christian outlook, which can help a person escape what is bringing them down and become a better and stronger person. Anyone who is looking for inspiration or guidance on how to be a better person will benefit from this read and the insights that it offers.
I really liked this book for several reasons. First of all, it contains lots of figures of speech which added color to the narrative and enrich it. For instance, as soon as we start reading it, we can realize that there is a big comparison between the fall of a tree and life itself.
Secondly, it’s a very emotional title full of personal reflections which made the reader think deeply about the battles they are facing or how to be in the right path with God’s guidance.
Finally, as the author describes some of his own experiences, he does it vividly and catching.
I can say that it was a great choice. I honestly enjoyed it!
“Escaping Our Fallen Nature,” by David Piper is an exquisitely well-written and highly engaging read for those who are spiritually based and simply looking for something deeper in their lives. The well-thought-out plotline regarding the roots of a fallen tree is something that we can most certainly all understand and connect with, and taking this analogy and linking it to spirituality and our lives as guided by God is something that is beautifully engaging all-in-all. If you are seeking a book that doesn’t beat you over the head with religion but truly honors the word of God, this is an excellent one to consider.
I found this book so interesting that I guess it can be enjoyed by Christians and not Christians alike. The author has put his ideas up front and sustained them throughout the narrative.
I consider Escaping Our Fallen Nature a book that goes beyond a motivational self-help book, but a read that can even change plenty of lives and be used as a guide to inspire readers.
