Review of Acres of Diamonds


Acres of Diamonds
By Jentezen Franklin

Acres of Diamonds is a great book that will encourage every area of your life.
Pastor Jentezen begins the introduction with the story of Ali Hafed and his Acres of Diamonds. He then explains the process of developing diamonds:pressure, time and heat.

Probably my favorite statement in the entire book is “If life is going to bring trouble with or without Jesus, you might as well choose Jesus.”

Pastor Jentezen ends the introduction with a power statement: “God has placed you where you are, right now. Ask Him to open your eyes and see what is right in front of you.”

Acres of Diamonds will help you see the value where you are, and so far I’ve only mentioned the introduction!

The chapters that follow take you on a journey of developing faith. Pastor Jentezen uses some of the stories from his personal life as well as some stories told by others to help the reader see the value of where they are right now, and what they are going through right now.

Acres of Diamonds will stir within the reader a desire to see where God has been working, is currently working, and is desiring to work in each area of their lives.

I enjoyed the material presented. It is well written and obviously something Pastor Jentezen has prayed over and practiced in his own journey. 

I highly recommend Acres of Diamonds. You will learn the value of faith, prayer, and staying planted where you are. And you will learn that you really do have “Acres of Diamonds” right in front of you.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.
