Book excerpt: "The Octagon of Spiritual Balances" was written and detailed for those who have been made aware of their salvation and are seeking the Christian way of life according to God's mandate as outlined in the Bible. The focus is on the origin, sequence, and balancing of the spiritual attributes: faith, knowledge, spiritual understanding, belief, trust, hope, love, obedience, peace, and joy. When these ten attributes are appropriated with the use of eight defined balances, a spiritual equilibrium is formed within the life of the believer. The purpose is to introduce and explain these spiritual attributes and their order of effective advent in the Christian life, instituting a spiritual foundation, awareness, and purpose in the believer, which in due course will create stability and harmony with God and life in the spirit. It enhances the believer's understanding of the work and will of God in their lives and empowers them to discern and receive what is of and from God as opposed to deceptive enticements. The believer will receive direction, purpose, spiritual clarity, and understanding as well as a confirmed spiritual equilibrium for Christian living. The reward and end result from following Jesus will be illuminated so vividly in the spirit of the believing reader that the reality of eternity will displace the thoughts of temporal time.
