The Grand Weaver: How God Shapes Us Through the Events of Our Lives

We all want immediate changes to happen in our lives, but God is in charge of our destiny. Obviously if we make free will decisions that could impact the outcome, overall we need to learn we are just where we need to be at this moment in time and trust that the outcome will be the best. It may not be the outcome we want but it is best at the time

Excellent book that takes you on the journey of finding meaning from the rich tapestry of life. I would recommend this book to all who want to know more about the Christian faith and how it works out in practice. An essential read to anyone with an enquiring mind.

I am a great fan of Ravi Zacharias and regret not being able to find him on any channel in the U.K. I used to live in Greece up until June 2014 and I could find his programmes very often and he makes a lot of sense. Too much rubbish on U.K. t.v. unfortunately. By nationality I am Anglo-Swiss.

Received well and in good condition

A very interesting and encouraging book. It speaks to your heart and it show you who you are in Christ. I highly recommend it.

A well written book, very effective illustrations to create understanding. Man God bless his children. I'm grateful for his life

I enjoyed this book. Ravi has a simple way of making you think outside the box. It explains the core belief that our lives have purpose and gives encouragement as segment to press on.

Outstanding book, it offers great insight.

This is a great book! Zacharias is able to take very complex theological ideas and apply them straight to your everyday life. He writes with a depth that is very unusual and, at the same time, puts things in a way that is very understandable. He is thoroughly biblical and devoted to Jesus as Lord. He writes with great rationale explanations. Whether you are a seasoned follower of Jesus, just starting out, or very uncertain about it all, there's something in this book that you will find useful.

This is a well written book, unsurprisingly so. Ravi Zacharias always has a unique and logical way of putting things into perspective and I would say this book is a must read for everyone, especially so if you are someone who has been brushed aside at church/by fellow believers as utterly worthless. As a Christian, I have often been at the wrong end of snide remarks, unnecessary prying and being judged and dismissed by the very people who are supposed to be a support system and I’m sure I am not alone. This book has been a help and an encouragement and I would highly recommend this book if you are in a similar position or you are going through/has gone through a lot of tough situations in life. Dr. Zacharias’s arguments are compelling, his explanations are well rooted in scriptures (there are frequent references to verses) and his narrative is speckled with anecdotes, just like his talks. A must read when life doesn’t make much sense or you have a lot of questions about the way events and experiences are routing your future. The content is as follows: Introduction 1. Your DNA Matters 2. Your Disappointments Matter 3. Your Calling Matters 4. Your Morality Matters 5. Your Spirituality Matters 6. Your Will Matters 7. Your Worship Matters 8. Your Destiny Matters Epilogue Notes Appendix: 25 Key Questions The ‘theme’ of the book is also a beautiful one – that of A Grand Weaver. We might often be left clueless in the way our life is being drawn out, but there indeed is a Grand Weaver in Heaven who has the design that is going to be revealed in the tapestry well planned out before you and I were born. This will also make a great gift. PS: There is quite a large variation in prices between the copies published by RZIM India and Zondervan (At least, I think that is the case). The former has an MRP of only Rs.200 (not sure about the Zondervan one as it was the RZIM version that I received.) – I was overcharged and Amazon refunded the amount the extra amount I paid. Just a heads up for anyone wondering about the price differences across sellers.

I have been having trouble understanding the meaning of suffering, though I accepted it is part of God's grand plan. Ravi puts things in perspective for me and now I truly understand the truth. And the truth has set me free! The book has also made me understand how to love, because Jesus first loved us!

This is a Very well rounded book. So much information but easy to read. Informative of comparing different religions. I love the Philosophy, of asking different questions. I have not finished reading as of yet. 1/2 through and I love. Not a book to read fast but to read thoroughly.

Excellent - great read
