eBook Review: Why God Matters

eBook Review: Why God Matters

I am always delighted when I get to read a new book, especially something that shares the love of God throughout its pages. Although I am not Catholic, as a Christian who strongly believes in the truths about God and His great love for us, this opportunity to review the ebook called: Why God Matters, has been a complete pleasure. The authors, Karina Lumbert Fabian and Deacon Steven Lumbert, have done an amazing job capturing the essence of "Why God matters" and bringing it to light in this wonderful ebook. Can I just say that even the acknowledgements and dedication in the very beginning will grab you and put a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye! This book sings from the heart of Karina and Deacon Steven of the loving ways of God and how our faith is strengthened. It is truly inspiring and well organized in its contents by even having Scripture at the top of each chapter to start off the chapter's theme. If you like reading a heart to heart style of writing from a Catholic perspective, you may want to read this book again and again! Why not take a look at this video book trailer and get a glimpse of what the ebook, Why God Matters, is all about?

Here is a little bio info that was shared with me about the authors, Karina Lumbert Fabian and Deacon Steven Lumbert:

Karina Lumbert Fabian was born into the Catholic faith, but truly grew to love it as an adult. As a busy mother of four, she finds some of her strongest encounters with God's love happen in the ordinary events of the day-to-day. Karina started her writing career with diocesan newspapers but has settled into writing fun-filled fantasy and science fiction that nonetheless incorporates the principles of faith-filled living.

Deacon Steven Lumbert officially converted to Catholicism in 1988, but had been a "practicing" Catholic long before that. He met his lovely and loving wife, Socorro, while serving in Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in Puerto Rico, in 1966. They raised their daughters, Karina and Regina, in the faith. Steve spent 30 years as a Colorado State Trooper, but retired when God called him to the diaconate. Currently, he serves the          Diocese of Pueblo as the Associate Director of Deacon Formation.

If you'd like to enjoy an excerpt from the actual book, here you can get a short glance at Why God Matters.

I love the following particular excerpt from the Why God Matters ebook that I wanted to share with my readers: "This breath, the Spirit of God, creates, inspires and sustains all believers, and it is through this breath of God that God's own Word-Christ-is proclaimed to the world. In otherwords, the very everyday life of Christians can be the most fundamental and effective form of evangelization itself."
This is something I believe in whole-heartedly myself. The more we strive to be living for Christ and modeling after Him in our daily lives, the more effective we become as Christians in sharing with the world what God's love is all about. Karina and Deacon Steven have really tried to point out many different topics of interest in this ebook that will appeal to Christians desiring to follow God in their everyday walk.

The authors of Why God Matters have shared some valuable truths of God's Word, and they offer great examples from their own life experiences and circumstances that help enlighten the reader to understand the Biblical concepts they are trying to get across. This lovely father/daughter writing project was a big success in so many ways. I know it will brighten the hearts and lives of many Christians. Those who live by the Catholic faith should be extremely happy to read this entire ebook cover to cover. It covers a lot of extra prayers and messages that appeal to the Catholic faith particularly. As a fellow Christian and believer in Christ, I hope you'll enjoy it too. :)
