“When applying the Bible verses you read only to yourself, you will find plenty to work with, and open the doors of repentance and love of your own heart. This is what God wants.” (Page 8)
“the Scriptures were written to be read aloud, to inspire faith in the listener, not the reader.” (Page 4)
“you will not only retain it better, but it will have a more profound impact on you.” (Page 5)

Couple of nice tips and practice in this, but its only 10 pages, some picture and white space goes on some of does 10 page. It should be free as a gift for all, especially the loyal customers. On the other hand, its a very life changing thing to do, following this tips. Listen to the word, so its also very important to speak the word and/or just read it loud, and also begin to act up on it when the spirit after some time begin to energize, arouses and stirs up your spirit, your inner man. I said energize because thats where the word worketh comes from in Greek "energeo". For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure, Phi 2:13 (kjv). I gave it 3 star because it should be free. But the practice of this are life changing, no doubt. Should I take charge of my few words above, its not even a work to do. Its sure a blessings to the one practice this tips, but it would be unfair to take charge of some that not even a work to do. Dont forget, rest in He's grace so you dont forget the peace and joy in the Lord.

Only 5 pages. This is why they didn't show any sample pages, they would be publishing the entire book! Nothing really interesting. Should be free.
