Break Out! is a faith-filled book, full of God’s promises and testimonies of people who overcame challenges by taking steps of faith. Not only is it inspirational, but draws its wisdom from the Bible.
Joel is a great storyteller. Very many important lessons are packed throughout each of the 25 chapters but below (to be updated) are just a few that stood out for me in no particular order:
- Our God is sovereign and as Christians, we ought to glorify Him by dwelling on His promises rather than our problems, situations, or people. His thoughts for us are good regardless of how bleak the current situation might look. I loved how we are reminded that if we stay in faith, God will eventually work all things out in our favor.
- Not to think small, but to dream big, since God desires to see the dreams that He has planted in our hearts come to pass and that we have favor under His gracious hand.
- Always demonstrate my faith through actions; being expectant that whatever God promised will come to pass.
The list could go on and on but this is my own summarized take which should not underplay the innumerable teachings in the book.
