Gina
Burgess has written a very interesting book on crowns that affect Christians.
She quotes the International Standard
Bible Encyclopedia, which tells its
readers there are five basic uses for crowns: decoration, consecration,
coronation, exaltation, and compensation. Interestingly, she adds a sixth
reason to the list “that of the crown of castigation or denouncement such as
the crown Jesus wore on the cross.”1
Gina
does her readers a favor; she includes screen shots of a Lexicon Search2
as she goes into detail about the different types of crowns a believer can
bear. She also suggests the readers use online lexicons. A lexicon is a synonym
for the word thesaurus. After each chapter she includes questions for reflection
to make the reader think deeper about the subject she has presented.
I
found this book very informative. I believe it would be a great addition to
anyone’s personal library. It would be a good resource book as well as a very
good study book for Christian book clubs.
I
received an electronic copy of this book from the author. All she asked me to
do was read it and give an honest, unbiased review.
