Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This book reveals God's unusual way of making people - from their undesirable state to an enviable status. It teaches that mockery is God's machinery for making people, which means that those God wants dignified must first be vilified just as those He wants promoted are first persecuted. In other words, if God must make you, then He must first arrange for you to be mocked - by friends, relatives, Christian brethren, and even your spouse. It also states that mockery is not optional but statutorily mandatory for all those who want to be made by God. However, the end product is as enviable as the process is as undesirable and unchangeable as it is inevitable. For instance, the author highlighted the mockeries over ten biblical characters suffered before being made. Specifically, he showed how Joseph endured mockeries while trying to let his family see reasons for him to carry on with his marriage plans to Mary who, before they wedded, "was found with child of the Holy Ghost." In addition to revealing the several family meetings that were held to determine Joseph's sanity and probably resolve the matter, he also showed how he was mocked to his face with insinuations that he must have had an affair with her that resulted in Mary's pregnancy only to fabricate an Immaculate Conception as an alibi. He also imagined the mockery Mary suffered simply because she was the chosen virgin for the birth of Christ - an "angelic story" that was as irrational as it was unreasonable to everyone who heard it. He pointed out how she must have been suspended indefinitely from participating in all church activities in addition to the several virginity tests she had to undergo afterward, if she were a chorister in a local church in her community. Also is what she must have suffered if she were a university undergraduate - the gossip and mockeries from her friends and peers who were not virgins, and to whom she had boasted about her virginity at such a ripe age of womanhood. Even Mary's family members who knew about the prophecies of an Immaculate Conception doubted the possibility of their family virgin being the chosen one - of all the virgins that were in the land. Added to these are the examples of Noah, Abraham, Job, and you, plus a host of others, including our Lord Jesus Christ who were mocked simply because God had marked them out to be made. The book further explains how, even with the assurance of being made, after being mocked - mockery is still not an easily acceptable drill - as it is not a palatable experience because, in times of mockery, people begin to question your piety and even your Christianity. A chapter in the book documents the mockeries the author has been privileged to suffer as a person - stating that his writing is not a tentative hypothesis but concrete evidence of existential realities developed through confirmed experiential knowledge garnered along the trajectories of life.In addition to a word of advice for mockers in the last chapter, the author also dedicates a special chapter to you, the reader, showing how you've suffered mockeries in life and how such mockeries from people are the raw materials for your making by God. The book teaches that since we desire to be made by God and can't escape the "making" process, the only option left is to learn how to successfully undergo the "mockery" procedure. Besides teaching you how to undergo the "mockery of your making", it also encourages you who are already in the process not to abort the procedure by running away from it because, so far as you're being mocked, particularly for Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
