Released from the Snare
(Racing Towards Your Destiny)
By John Glass.
Paternoster Publishing (Alpha). 140 pages
ISBN 1 89893 884 9

John Glass is the General Superintendent of the Elim Pentecostal Churches in the UK. His concern in this book is to identify the seven main 'snares' which catch Christians and churches and hinder their progress in spiritual life and effectiveness. He is especially interested in the effect these snares have on the possibility of revival amongst us.

Mr. Glass has had a wide experience of pastoral life and his preaching ministry has been used by the Spirit of God in the salvation of souls and the strengthening of believers. A huge amount of his pastoral experience is captured in these 140 pages and church leaders all over the country will readily identify with many of the issues he deals with in church life.

Although some will not warm to the Pentecostalism that comes through from time to time, this book deserves a wide reading for two reasons. First, it provides a deep, necessary and practical challenge to all of us to lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles us. Secondly, it will motivate many ministers to do a series of sermons on these 'snares' and will provide them with a rich vein of illustrative material.

I can already feel a series coming on for my own church.

John Tindall
