Book Reviews of Flights of Faith : Meditations for Flyers

Book Review: Frequent Reader Plan--God's Grace
Summary: 5 Stars

Read Dr. Scott's book while you're in the lounge waiting for your next flight. Look around you; the bustle, the noise, the unusual smells, cold but efficient workers, and the feeling of being packaged and wrapped for delivery second class, like fish being sent to the market. Everything is out of your control. As adults, we spend a good portion of our life trying to fix things so we don't have to experience these emotions.

Meditations is a must read for anyone who flies, especially for the ennued, the numbed, the masses of workers who use the airways for a living. As I enter an airport I feel like I have to leave my personality in the car and put on my Invisible Man suit.

Meditations is easy to read and right on target. There's no preaching, no sermon, no verses to memorize. It's a book you'll want to take on every trip. Nuggets abound. Except for airport bathrooms, every phase of flying is addressed with a positive way of thanking God for who we are and what we can be.

Lord, never let me be a non-dairy creamer in real life.

An example; The Barf Bag: "Many years ago, they were quite obvious in the front of your seat. Now, they are more hidden. Perhaps the airline doesn't want you to think they will be necessary, so they are tucked neatly in some hard to find place..."

"Life has its own barf bag We call it confession. When you confess the things you have done to God or to another person, a load is lifted from your life. It may not be as nasty as the bag on the plane, but it is much more soothing. Confession removes the rough spots from your life and makes you feel whole again. Try it. And, before you go any further, you may want to make sure your bag is in its proper place. Lord take my sins on you."

Short, humorous, insightful, easy-to-read and digest, all said in a non-confrontational, blameless manner.

Dr. Scott doesn't bring guilt, he brings God's grace.

Summary of Flights of Faith : Meditations for Flyers

Modern commercial aviation, with its unique culture and character, provides a window into the meaning of life and the relationship of life to faith. This book provides inspiration for those going up into the wild blue yonder. Using the metaphor of flying, the uplifting messages here provide a sense of meaning, purpose and direction for life. And they offer the opportunity to discover a firm grounding for enriched living when returning to the world outside the sliding doors of the airport.
