Beyond the Yellow Brick Road: Unlocking the Promises of God

I purchased both the hardcopy for a gift and kindle version for myself. I was drawn in from the first page. It made me take a deeper look into the storm we are all going through this year. I really like the way the author, Juan Martinez, compared the story and characters of The Wizard of Oz to our spiritual walk. I can relate to it in many ways. That movie always brought a smile to my face and I will not be able to watch it again without imagining the analogy the author shared in this book. A GREAT READ.

Pastor Juan Martinez your book is awesome and best of all..... a blessing.While I was reading page 56, you hit a spot. I gave lots of dollars away now that I think about it to the devil and let him bully me. Well maybe I asked to be bully for being weak, vulnerable, giving up and not having GOD in my life. Basically gave up and almost took my life for that weakness. The enemy will always roam for weak people but when there are people like you preaching the word, giving direction to GOD and staying real while preach it, the weak will become the strong again and we will take our dollars back from the devil.This book will inspire those who are stuck in the streets with no hope and those who are lost. I’m also an example that GOD can make changes in someone who was stuck in the streets and that he will direct you to his promises.#takingitback#theweakbecomethestrong#beyondtheyellowbrickroad#WeAreHeavicans #LoveWINS

I absolutely love this book! It really resonated with me and my own personal storms. I love the interpretation of how our faith walks are like the yellow brick road in The Wizard of Oz. I think that everyone can relate to Dorthy, regardless of their personal journey. We all face challenges of walking the narrow path. We all have different stories and situations but we all have obstacles (storms) in some form or fashion. Regardless of what you have gone through or are currently going through, this book will penetrate your heart and soul. This book is brilliant and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good book with a great perspective!

When I first opened this book I was not the strongest in my Christian faith I believed that I've sinned to many times to be saved and I was not worthy of feeling free. As I read more and more, day by day I realized that everyone has their time of storms and although it seems like the worst times ever there was sunshine to come! Above is a photo of the pages I always go back to when I'm struggling with myself and doubting my strength. I have been growing and glowing in my faith I have learned patience and how to trust a process that is not my own cause I now know it is the best and most fulfilling one there can ever be. Ever since this amazing book has came my way I have been more disciplined and courageous to change for the better, it's not an easy process but it does feel good when you say no to the flesh and yes to the promise!!! Thank you for sharing your story it really had a positive impact on my life.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed your book. It was a book that was hard to put down once we started reading it and one that I plan to read again and share with others so that they too can see what God can do in there lives by seeing what he's done in yours.

I could relate to this book Soo well.I love the parallel between our life and dorothy's life from the wizard of oz. It is also very challenging, to think outside of what we've been used to thinking! Love it. Thank you, Juan Martinez, For your technicolor view!

This book is the story of all our lives! Us who grew up with no role models, searching for an identity; Pastor Juan thought he found his in New York J. As we know the storms of life will refine you! Through the refinement, Pastor Juan found the yellow brick road (peace, joy, love...)! You won’t be able to put it down until you finish! You will find yourself in a every page!Durksen

This book has been a blessing. In it, Pastor Juan gives his real, raw, and relatable life lessons. Every line delivers divine revelation and truth through an unexpected point of reference - #TheYellowBrickRoad of #TheWizardOfOz. I wanted to make sure I did not keep his message to myself, and have already given serval copies away as gifts in order to be a blessing to others. One I gave to my 18 year old nephew who is being blessed by Pastor Juan’s testimony. I am looking forward to hearing his complete feedback. Definitely recommend this book to anyone that is looking for good, solid, non-filtered, unwatered-down Biblical truth. #PastorJuanMartinez #GetWrappedChurch #MyGWC #WeAreHeavicans #Philippians3Twenty

I absolutely love and reccomend this book. My fiance loves it and I've been telling friends about it. Once you read it, it will touch you, and make you feel like you totally understand. And you wont want to put it down.
