On a Stormy Day is a stunning Christian read and the third instalment by author Andrew W. Choi. This book shines with faith-stretching essence and gist that will generate certainty of continuous victories over storms of life, as they hold tighter onto God’s unfailing mercy and love.
Choi starts by highlighting the helplessness that engulfed Jesus’ disciples as they battled an unforeseen storm while sailing in the sea, but though their Master did not appear pronto to rescue them, He was praying for them at the mountains. Unknown to the terrified group was that their security was guaranteed as long as they had faith. The author has taken time to relate the story to similar situations today that may generate loneliness and self-pity in the midst of adversity, while at the same time reminding readers that victory is only achievable for people who are willing to dispel fear and ignore discouragement by taking Jesus’ commands not just as instructions, but as promises which have been coupled with divine enablement.
The author also expresses the secret behind suffering among Christians in a cosmos that popularly relate such to punishment or judgement. Choi has spent time to evince his views by featuring distinguished Biblical characters such as King David and Moses who found themselves dwelling in unlikely quarters but subsequently benefiting in having their hearts and temperaments tuned to become worthy vessels of transformation and deliverance in God’s hands.
The divine knowledge that has been dispensed by author Choi is bound to have explicit transformative effect on displeasured persons regarding various negative situations, and will see them become more erudite to effectively counsel, and reassure others who may be going through similar predicaments. The text’s crowning stroke is the author’s ability to enunciate his views with relatable and authentic illustrations and models.
Altogether, On a Stormy Day is an enlivening Christian text that will have one reflecting on the nature of their faith, the level of their commitment to God, the level of their maturity, and the measure of how teachable they are. It is a book worthy reading in one sitting and will have you encouraged to keep moving no matter how the weather report looks. I recommend the read to both young and matured Christians.
