My Review

This book blends an in-depth Bible study with practical life lessons for readers. Be Still: Lessons from an Angel by E.D. Perry is a spiritual guide that combines a heavy, in-depth look at Christian principles with everyday wisdom, offering readers guidance to pause, reflect, and grow closer to God. The book centers around the author's interpretations and teachings regarding the letters from the Apostle Paul to the Philippians, Ephesians, Colossians, and Philemon. While this compilation of the author's work discusses these letters from a Biblical stance through several lessons, it also provides insights into the quiet strength readers can find in stillness. Each chapter offers a lesson drawn from Scripture and practical ways to apply these teachings in daily life, with themes like faith, patience, and trust in God's timing.

 

Be Still serves to strengthen the reader's faith and relationship with God. Through the many lessons, the book uses Perry's teachings and ideas to remind readers that we often forget the value of quieting our hearts to hear God's voice. The book stresses how faith and trust in God's plan can help us overcome worry and anxiety and how stillness is not a passive act but a posture of faith. Readers are encouraged to cultivate a deeper relationship with God through prayer, meditation, and reflection. 

 

Be Still isn't a light read. If you are exploring this book as a new Christian, some Scripture-related discussions may feel quite heavy. While the verses and discussions relate clearly to the various life lessons the text offers, it is a detailed discussion that contains heavier messages and ideas. However, besides the Biblical lessons, the book provides relatable messages presented relatively simply with ways to reduce stress, make better decisions, and live purposefully. 

 

Would I Recommend Be Still: Lessons from an Angel from the writings of E.D. Perry. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking guidance in their Christian faith, particularly those looking for a fresh perspective and strengthening their relationship with God. As I said, this isn't a light read; it is one you may need to revisit and continue to learn from throughout your spiritual journey.

Meet the Author

Edgar "Ed" DeWitt Perry was born on Nov. 20, 1913 in Forest Grove, Oregon in a home his father built in 1911. He was a successful businessman with decades of business and life experience that he was happy to share with anyone who wanted to hear. He had a smile that could bridge any gap between folks, like an angel sent from God.

Ed spend the last decade of his life writing and teaching Bible lessons, which he would send weekly to peers and loved ones. He would eventually take the time to put those lessons into physical form and bind them to give to others, such as Ron L. Frey, leading to the creation of this book.

​Everlasting life began for Edgar DeWitt Perry when his time on Earth ended in 2010. He was 97.
