Come Climb Toward God: Are You Hungry For God? is a step-by-step accessible compendium that focuses on how one can begin a personal relationship with God and how to stay in communion with Him. The author compares believers to the scriptural branches of the vine which represent Christ. The caretaker of the vine is God. By Christians staying connected to Jesus, the True Vine, they will ultimately bear good fruit, and get to partake in life eternal.
Author Marianna W. Albritton assures readers that in Jesus, one finds calmness, the tranquility of spirit, and confidence in the promises and provision of God. Her meticulous approach digs into lessons on lordship, service, abiding by Christ, the topic of resurrection, a call to rest, and seeking Jesus even as she seeks to carefully break down the meaning of these terms in laymen’s language. The book draws from Biblical figures such as Mark, John, and Paul as it emphasizes that each Christian had a unique walk with God.
Further, the text explains that the first step to spiritual maturity is seeking Jesus. Consequently, the Holy Spirit draws one to Him. God has placed in each of us a gift to serve Him and by being in fellowship with Jesus, opportunities to serve will land in due time. The chapters further bring forth God’s desire to satisfy believers’ hunger with good things. Albritton hopes that by reading this book, readers will be able to discern God’s call in their lives as He fills the empty areas in their lives.
The tapestry’s breakdown blends personal experiences from the author’s life with an astute analysis of the scriptures. The preface of this guide is bracingly enthusiastic that uses a surprisingly symbolic anecdote to describe the process of growing into a mature Christian. In design, the book makes use of bold fonts to highlight keywords along with scriptural references and a study guide. The result is a comprehensive inspiring read that will tug at the heartstrings of every reader.
Indeed, Come Climb Toward God: Are You Hungry For God? is an eloquent and inviting tome that edifies in a deeply satisfying way. Author Albritton’s sage wisdom and lessons are of mammoth proportions and much needed in this contemporary world we are in.
