Publisher's Summary

Have you ever wondered why you think the way you do about people, jobs, relationships, and just about anything you have ever encountered? Everything you have ever experienced, every thought you have thought, is the direct result of what you have given to it or what you have taken from it. This is the capacity of our souls to give thought and to take thought concerning all that we see, hear, and feel in this life. God has designed us in his image, and in this creation he has put within us the ability to do so.

In this audiobook of Give and Take, we will follow the path from salvation to warfare to peace and giving of thanks as we see that God gives us much, and that much is available from him for us to take for our advantage. As you discover who he is as a sovereign god, you will begin to measure your life based on what you give to it and what you take from it. Understanding that the principles set forth in the give-and-take that we apply in respect, forgiveness, taking captive thoughts, and more--as seen through the examples of David, Nehemiah, Daniel, the Apostle John, as well as others--are through and by his love. All we give to this life and all that we take from this life is defined by this principle of give-and-take. Every relationship, every event, and every moment is rendered through how we give to God and how we take from God.
