Accessorization

Christian Living

“Doris Bourgeois Turner has written an encouraging, inspiring, and engaging book on how believers should be obedient to God’s expectations and the consequences for disobedience in their relationship with God. It is appropriate to accessorize the outer self, but God is more concerned about the believer’s inner self. Furthermore, Turner encourages believers to put away negative behaviors, as noted in 1 Peter 2:1–3, such as malice, deceit, and envy. Instead, believers should crave ‘the pure spiritual milk’ of God’s word to help them grow spiritually. Accessorization is about the believer’s plight, encompassing the causes of separation from God’s will and fellowship, which include loss of blessings, divine judgment, adverse outcomes, and spiritual death. She informs believers about the essentiality of taking the path of repentance and being accountable for their actions, which is crucial on their journey with God. Turner reminds us that sin earns the life-altering consequence of death. This will help believers grow spiritually by increasing their faith in their journey with God. This book is a must read.”
