Review of Inspirational book by author Frederick L. Cuthbertson by Rawsistaz Book Club Reviewers
Words of Wisdom
William W. Tucker was a man who after dedicating his life to Christ at 17 spent his time doing the work of God. Simply by reading author Frederick Cuthbertson’s heartfelt words and descriptions of Bishop Tucker it becomes abundantly clear that he had a tremendous impact on the lives of those he came in contact with. This book includes a brief biography of Bishop Tucker, but the true depth of the book comes from the collection of over 150 of his sayings. While Bishop Tucker may not have originated all of the sayings, he applied his wisdom and Biblical knowledge to the context in which they were used. The book lists the various sayings, includes a brief description of the context in which they were used and citations of Biblical references which relate to the sayings. For example the saying “Rake the word to yourself and don’t use a shovel” suggests that the word of God is meant for our hearts and not meant to be cast away when it condemns us for our misdeeds.
With the well over 150 sayings included in this book, there is advice that is relevant to any person at any given point in their lives. More importantly, the book’s easy to remember sayings, when taken to heart, will help any Christian walk closer to God. The only disappointment about this book was it’s organization, it would have been a much more powerful day to day resource for Christians had the various sayings been organized by theme so that they are easier to locate. Still The “Sayings” of the Late Bishop William W. Tucker is both inspirational and motivational.
