Larry E. Davies writes, Live the Light: Five Weeks to a Life that Shines. 

Larry E. Davies experienced the horror of the December 26, 2004 Tsunami, as he went to Sri Lanka to help. Those and many more stories of his own life experiences showcase his book, Live the Light. This book will make you laugh and it will make you cry, yet, all are called as disciples of Christ to live as ambassadors for Christ. Larry E. Davies gives readers first-hand accounts and Biblical insight on how to do just that. 

This is an endeavor that is not only Biblical and educational, but the author has an understanding of life and offers readers encouragement amid the storms of life. He begins his book with something that I think only those who have lived through such turbulent eras of time can express. He writes that 1969 and today’s current global climates have a lot in common. I was surprised to read this, but yet he expresses his views that the temperature is rivaling the turbulent 60’s has topped the charts in severity, as it seems peripheral circumstances also glaze today’s landscape as people just “try to survive.” No one can refute that after the 2020, things are really heating up in our world. So how do we live as the light in such a frightful world that seems to only be getting worse? 

His book offers solutions through five weeks of impactful and powerful sections:
Week 1- Love the Lord, Week 2 - Invite, Week 3 - Grow, Week 4 - Help Others, Week 5 - To Live Like Christ. Each section has on average a total of 7 lessons, give or take. Each week focuses the reader on the subject, offering teaching, wisdom, and an interactive book with reading. Each section is designed for a personal growth and insight, along with a place for notes.

This book can be used on an individual level or within a Bible-study group. I find this book deeply encouraging, reminding us all that to “Be Still” as noted in Psalms 46, and the amount of Scripture refreshed the soul.

A rewarding and energizing read! I would recommend to all those, especially those who need guidance during these stormy times we live…this book is a wonderful reminder of not only our identity in Christ, but gives the tools and teaching to Live as the Light!

~ Excellent and worthwhile, and a very memorable read!
