With is the simple title on a very in depth book by Skye Jerhani. Using four prepositions Jerhani describes four 'postures' most people use as a relationship with God. Under, over, from and for. Each section is very detailed. It would be very easy to find out which category you fall in to.
Life Under God seeks to find control and blessings by following all of Gods commands and rules to the letter. If you follow all the rules, you will be blessed.
Life Over God, God has not bearing on one's daily life. You are above Him, you find the principles of life and live by them alone.
Life From God, is a "What has He done for me lately?" lifestyle. Religion is a means to an end, to get what you want and then move on.
Life For God, is a very easy trap that a lot of Christians fall into. Living a life of significance a life for God. While this posture seems like a good one, it still misses the point of living a life with God.
The book closes with four more sections. Life With God, Life With Faith, Life With Hope, and Life With Love.
At the end of the book is a fairly large Appendix section with question both for an individual and a group. It would be a book worth doing for a Bible Study.
The books is very well written with a lot of real life examples and simple drawings to illustrate the point. At times, I did find it a little wordy, but overall it was a great book that I would recommend.
