This book will help you!
Thank you and God Bless you Rev Martin for this message! I read it in just over one sitting and it helped me in so many ways! It's as if the Lord Himself was speaking through you. I have been going through the worst, darkest days of my life that has pushed me to question my faith. I have been through bad times before but this time it has absolutely pushed me to dispair. I would recommend this book to anyone who is searching for answers to what is going on in their life. For anyone who is on the brink of despair. For anyone who has been discouraged and disappointed with their life. Read this book!!! It has helped in plain words, very direct to get you back to where you need to be. In the present moment in the presence of God.

Last week I gave up, on EVERYTHING! And then this week I found this book!!!
To say life has been hard is an understatement. Between caring for two chronically ill little dogs, combined with severe neurological issues myself, life has only been going down. Always down. Always with pain as a constant companion, and the future growing dimmer. I wish I had more grace and dignity, that I could say I held up under what I'd been given, but I only managed for a while. A few years. And all that time I kept telling myself things would get better. God would show me the way. Everything would work itself out.And then it didn't, and time has passed, and life has still been going down. I've lost count of the number of times in the past few days I've stared out the window in so much pain I wish I wasn't alive anymore. Not that I want to be anywhere else besides where God has put me, but I also don't want to be here, to feel the pain, and deal with the constant fear.Last week I gave up, on everything, and then this week I found this book. I've been screaming so much in my head, wanting to know why something didn't break for me when I still believed in dreams, and still wished to live, and before I finally gave up. But now I understand that everything has its time, and nothing can be rushed, and God is still there and listening. This book didn't fix anything for me. Even as I write this I am in so much pain it's hard to focus, and my two little dogs are no better.But where I didn't understand, now I do. Where I was starting to let go, I think I can hold on. Where I was beginning to lose faith, it has returned. It isn't really about what's at the end of the road. All that really matters is the journey, and no one can shorten that, or remove the lessons that must be learned as its walked.If you are lost, and in pain, and have given up, and if you're wondering how to hold onto dreams that have died, then this book, my friend, is for you!!!

God's perfect timing
I'm going through a turning point in my life right now and looking for knowledge to get through it. As I'm searching personal development and self-help books on the Kindle app, I notice there are sooooo many books that I'd love to read just by the title alone. I love reading but find it hard to actually finish a book because I search for another one and start reading that one. Knowing I can't read all these books at once, I still search for them scrolling through the self-help and motivational section.As I'm scrolling left looking for a book, I say a silent prayer, "God please help me." Just as I scroll left, this book "God's Perfect Timing" shows up.I smile and laugh at the irony.This short book showed me God is always with me. Letting go seems hard at times but sometimes that's all you can do. I didn't even have to read it and I know God is always on time!"When you understand that the time has already been set, it takes off all the pressure." Let go of the resistance of holding onto what happens in the future.I'll read this anytime I have a hard time surrendering and letting go of what happens tomorrow. I know to give it all to God to let Him handle it. I hope you do the same : )

Scriptually TRUE & Contextually Accurate
This is one of the most theologically sound, scriptually TRUE & contextually accurate books I have read ( besides John McArthur ). Rev J Martin is Biblically thorough in this particular book (besides having the title of Rev. attached to his name) I believe this man is a Godly inspired writer. I can not find ANYWHERE in scripture where a Man is to have the title of Reverand, except thge Reverant fear of Christ alone!!!

You find peace in your situation after reading God's perfect timing. Thank you Rev
I've read this book twice already and each time I've read it my soul has been blessed. You find peace in your situation after reading God's perfect timing. Thank you Rev. J Martin what a powerful message without being harsh. You gently remind us through God's written word that God's GOT THIS and all we need to do is trust, obey his word and keep walking this life out with the Lord and we will get the best that God has for us. I've passed this book along to others who have been asking "why Lord?" Without a doubt that "why" becomes a praise report for another; how God kept them when they wanted to give up. This is a must read. Keep this book not only for yourself but for others around you that need a reminder that God is in control not us.God Bless!

Echoes of the prosperity gospel
While well-intentioned, this book seems to imply that if you pray hard enough – such as for that dream house or for a clean bill of health – and wait on God’s timing, He’ll give you exactly what you want. (i.e."There is a perfect time for healing, a perfect time for the doctor's report to come back all clear.") That isn’t true. While we are called to pray in faith and wait on Him, the Lord often shapes and molds our desires to accomplish His purposes. That means that things don’t always work out the way we had originally hoped, but we can trust it was for our good and His glory. This book is too self-centered rather than Christ-centered.

God's Perfect Timing: Surrender, trust in him...
As a woman of faith, Rev. Martin's book is reassuring. I especially liked his s scriptural references. Trust God always.

This book was God's perfect timing for me
I completely believe, I thought. I completely trust, I thought. I turned over a mess of things going on in my life to God, I thought. Reading this was such an inspiration to me and showed me how wrong I was. I believe that my Heavenly Father led me to read this book so that I can understand Him more as well as myself. I believe that it was no accident. You will thoroughly enjoy it!

My faith has been 'renewed
Even the time that I have chosen to read this book has come at the perfect time. About three years ago I blamed God for not not answering my prayers in relation to my job. I had spent seven years studying - also battling a life threatening illness at the same time - so that I could get a promotion, but every way I turned was being blocked. I stopped going to church and doubting the existence of God. Two years later, things started to turn around; I am still in the same job, but am now at peace because I believe in God's perfect timing. Just as Phillip in the book, I am preparing for my future because I believe that things will change, bit only in God's time, not mine. Thank you for writing this book. It has been confirmation that I am doing the right thing.

Very helpful
Thank you Rev Martin for writing this book. I've been going through a turning point for quite a while now and have found myself becoming impatient and desperate for answers. Your book has really helped me to understand why I have yet not received all of those answers. But, I has prayed for 3 years to find a new home in my hometown. I thought it was never going to happen. But suddenly it did after all that time and I understand that God was waiting for the perfect place to become available to me. I will try to be more patient in awaiting God's answer to something else I have been praying for. Thank you so much for writing this and I'm definitely going to read your other books.

Simple yet inspiring
I stumbled across this book while going through extended problems, those problems remain, there is still no end in sight. After reading this encouraging booklet, I'm encouraged to keep going, but not in the former attitude of doom and gloom. I now feel far more able to face the challenges ahead with confidence.

Poor!
I am surprised there are so many positive reviews of this book! It is very short and incredibly simplistic - simplistic as in unintelligent as opposed to profound! It is poorly written, it reads as though the author is just spouting his opinion at you. I agree with the other 1 star review - no meat, just statements and opinions without much depth or thought behind it. Healing is mentioned a lot which seems a risky example to use on the subject of timing - who is naive enough to believe that healing is just a matter of Gods perfect timing!!?? It's not purely a matter of timing - not everybody gets healed. I credit the writer for the enthusiasm and desire to inspire, this is lovely, but seriously this is a very poor book and seems very novice. There are several typos in there too! Self published I guess. Frustrating as I was hoping for some solid biblical research/maturity/decent life experience examples etc but this was a waste of money. Although the writer means well for sure! Just sounds kinda naive and simplistic....

Good if you are young.
Good if you are young and really have a future to look forward to. If you are older like me and you have a partner suffering from painful arthritis and progressive dementia what is there to wait for?! So not an uplifting read for me I'm afraid.
