Format:Paperback
Gordie MacDonald, like a fine wine, improves with age. This book pulls together so many important themes in his other books which were written earlier, and is gentle on the reader, but deeply profound. Don't buy it unless you want to change yourself, it would be a waste of money.

Excellent Book For Evaluating Our Lives!
10 May 2003
Format:Hardcover
Gordon MacDonald, one of my most favorite authors, has written and excellent book on the need for us to evaluate our lives as we enter the 30s and 40s and beyond. Granted, this book may be more appropriate for older readers, but younger ones will also benefit as they prepare for the "prime of life".
Among the principles MacDonald covers include:
1. Abraham exercised great faith when he left the comforts of his home and followed God's voice to go to a new land.
2. Although Abraham experienced scars in his life, he was a man who learned to trust God.
3. We have to go to quiet places to get a glimpse of God's majesty. Faith is built in the tough places of life.
4. Character is what truly exists in the hidden life of a person. A fall in character is often due to the neglecting the inner life.
5. Principles of perseverence.
6. Jesus was (and is) very interested in a person's character.
7. A person's character is revealed in impossible situations.
8. To have life change, we must be willing to reach for the unfamiliar.
All in all, an excellent and highly recommended book!

Pastor MacDonald does it again!
30 Mar 2000
Format:Hardcover
I have been a fan of Gordon MacDonald's books for almost a quarter century because he is so strongly focused on the practical aspects of the Christian life. This, his latest book, deals with the question of moving onward to the next step. He is convinced that God has more for His people if we live a life of continuing "mid-course corrections". No matter what apparent disaster has befallen the Christ-follower, God can use it to bring good. If you are finding your spiritual life a bit flat, here you may find hope from one who has learned from experience that God is a God of the second chance.

MacDonald does it again
16 April 2000
Format:Hardcover
"Mid-Course Correction" is Gordon MacDonald's best book to date. As in all of his books, this is a very practical book, full of concrete suggestions. He suggests that all of us need to be in a lifelong process of continuing conversion. Either we need to escape from a certain staleness in our life, or we need to become more dedicated "Christ-followers" He sees Abraham as the most relevant model for conversion because his conversion was most like that which people today face. He, and we, come from a pagan culture and need to learn much that some from the culture (or subculture) take for granted. MacDonald is a gifted storyteller who uses events from his own life as well as biblical narrative to illustrate his points effectively. read this book, you will be better for doing so.
