It's Not about You--It's about God

An excellent, life changing book that helps you to align your perspectives and priorities in God's will.

When I started reading this book I knew that it would be a challenge to my belief system. The title "It's Not About You" troubled me, but it was what I needed to hear. This book reminds us that the world does not evolve around us! God has the big picture in mind.Although we may go through many trials and tribulations, God is the same yesterday, today and forever. The author did a great job reminding us that God is not surprised about what is going on in our lives. He is in control and He cares!I guarantee that once you start reading this book, you will be encouraged. You will gain more knowledge on how to have joy in times of adversity. This book is a must read!

Gotta give it up to Mommy, her new book is quitethermal. It is entitled "It's Not About You," byMommy--I mean--- Rebecca Osaigbovo.She's funny, and she cuts to the heart of one of thebiggest strongholds we can have- pride. Its also veryencouraging, because in it she shows how God can useour trials, struggles, and infirmities for HisPurposes.Its targeted at black women, but everybody should readit; even if she's not your Mommy.

This is the first book outside of the Holy Bible that TRULLY spoke to my spirit. I've just begun reading the book [I'm currently on page 57] and I can't seem to get enough of this TELL IT LIKE IT IS reading. If you are at a season in your life where you feel like "There's Got To Be More to Life Than This" then this is the right book for you.I'm very grateful that the author was obedient to the Holy Spirit and wrote this book for this season in my life.The author does a great job of explaining and giving examples on how "we" CAN uncomplicate matters in our lives by simply giving it over to God.I personally understand that it can be challengning to give it over to God because my mind has not been fully renewed in this area. This book is helping me to make a decision to throw off my old mind and put on His New.Quite frankly, many of us "Strong Black Christian Women" and I use this phrase loosely are missing the mark. This book is an excellent tool in helping "us" sisas begin to understand life from God's perspective.God desire's much more for us than a husband, 2.5 kids, and a phat house with money. He HAS So much more for us!As a result of this book, I'm challenged to take a good hard look at my inward man. To be honest, there's some stuff that I'm seeing that I don't like and needs to be corrected. If you trully want God to Do More for you in 2004, I highly recommend that you purchase this book. You're eyes will be enlighted and opened. You'll get the AHa!!! on the situation.Meditate and constantly chew on this book. You'll get something fresh out of it everytime you pick it. Excellent choice for a Book Club.

Could Christians be selfish, self-absorbed and self-centered? But we love God and sing hymns like "I Surrender All." Surely we don't have the me-disease? Popular conference speaker and best-selling author of Chosen Vessels, Rebecca Florence Osaigbovo (www.cvmi.org) challenges women, especially "strong black women," to get God's perspective on life. This radical book is not a "feel good" message but an in-your-face book that burns up any narcissism in your soul.She motivates women to know the beauty and power of a totally surrendered life to Christ. "When a strong black woman becomes a Christian, she has to lean on God. She has to see strength from a different perspective...God is going to use the woman who delights in her weakness but walks in the strength of the Lord and the power of His might. It's really about God," writes Osaigbovo. This book will surely be the talk of every urban beauty shop - especially to those women who find themselves looking in the mirror and getting a revelation that "it's not about me - but up to me." Osaigbovo inspires women to take focus off themselves and become powerful partners with God.
