Chazown Zone

I found myself circling key ideas and thoughts throughout this book--which is appropriate considering that author Craig Groeschel uses three circles to illustrate his three key principles of "Core Values," "Spiritual Gifts," and "Past Experiences." Visit www.chazown.com for the illustration of these 3 concepts.

How does one get into the Chazown Zone? In Logic, where three circles overlap is where all three circles share a common characteristic, so it becomes a major unifying theme. Like a tripod, the revelation, and vision (Chazown is the Hebrew word for such an idea) rests as a camera on these three ideas.

Reading this book gives to the reader a panoramic picture of how to go from here (present state) to the Chazown Zone. As such, it should help readers define the three ideas into practical steps. You can get there from here!

I like how the book concludes in that Groeschel explains that we are accountable to God in the end how well we worked out what God worked in; i.e. we play a role in working out, as does God, in our spiritual destiny. Since this is such an important task, and the book does a good job defining such a process, I recommend it to readers.

The book has helped me to better understand that I sense that God is calling me to write more for the encouragement of others. That is part of the vision He had set before me and Chazown has made this clearer.

As a note, I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
