Darlene Gaston was a devoted Christian who loved God and did her
best to live a perfect life. She tried hard to prove her worth to
receive his love and favor. The church she attended had rules that
did not align with the word of God, and she felt like she was
performing and living a fake life. Fortunately, she received a
revelation that opened her eyes to God's unconditional love and
grace. Time to Really Live Free is a book that documents the
lessons she learned from her revelation. Her newfound knowledge
led her church to turn on her, but this did not stop her new way of
living. She began to relearn what having a meaningful relationship
with God meant. Her understanding of sin, forgiveness, the law, and
grace were restructured, and her life of freedom in Christ began.
Time to Really Live Free is a comprehensive study of the difference
between doctrine-driven and spirit-driven lifestyles. Most churches
today have doctrines to keep their congregants in line with fear and
class sins in different categories, which are all man-based beliefs.
Darlene Gaston addresses these ideologies that kept her and her
family in bondage and debunks them with Bible scriptures. Her
work is well-researched, with references and original scripture
definitions. The book is easy to understand and has graphs, charts,
and tables that visualize what the author explains. The book also
has beautiful designs and clear images that correspond perfectly
with the text. I loved reading this book and recommend it to anyone
who wishes to understand what it means to have freedom in Jesus.
