Awakening: A New Approach to Faith, Fasting, and Spiritual Freedom by Stovall Weems is a positive, scripturally-based approach to becoming closer to God. Put into simple layman’s terms, Weems outlines how to dig deeper, reach higher and shine brighter for God. Using personal examples and a very “real” dialogue, Weems succeeds in capturing his audience and welcoming them in.
This book is very appropriate for the Lenten season as Christians reflect upon the ultimate sacrifice, the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It proves to be a worthy reminder of the importance of putting away the “clutter” that keeps us from realizing the “awakening” that God has in store for each and every person.
While I wouldn’t say that his approach is “new,” I would say that the book does chart out a straightforward path for even the most seasoned Christian or newest Christian to deepen their faith and walk with Jesus.
