by Doris A. Bourgeois Turner (Author), Joe Albert Sr. Bush (Foreword by)
Accessorization offers a new perspective on how disobedience to God's expectations can have life-altering consequences. This path highlights how neglecting the inner self, for the sake of adorning the outer self, can lead to life-altering consequences when believers prioritize the outer self over the inner core, which is more pleasing to God. This disobedience began in the garden of Eden when humanity followed the cunning voice of Satan and disobeyed God's instruction, causing the curse on society and expulsion from the garden. The general purpose of this book is to help believers understand that God is waiting to hear from them. We are not living up to his expectations, which have been clearly outlined since life was breathed into man. As believers, we must understand that the inner self is what God seeks--compassion, love, meekness, kindness, obedience, and humility. These accessories are to alert believers to be aware of their own spiritual and emotional barometer. The book focuses on nurturing the inner self to enhance spiritual growth and development. Are there many believers like Paul, "No matter what you do to be right, trying to follow the will of God, evil is always present." There is hope.
