What Kind of House Are You? by Calvin H Taylor is an exploration of spiritual growth and the metaphorical construction of a life rooted in faith. The author uses the analogy of building a house to illustrate the steps necessary for developing a strong spiritual foundation. Each element of the house represents a key aspect of spiritual life, from faith and love to the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Taylor begins by emphasizing the importance of preparing the ground, likening it to hearing and accepting the Gospel. This sets the stage for laying the foundation, which is Jesus Christ, and building the framework of faith. The narrative is deeply rooted in scripture, with numerous biblical references to guide the reader through each step of spiritual construction. The walls, representing the Holy Spirit, and the roof, symbolizing God’s protection, highlight the interconnectedness of these spiritual elements.
Calvin H Taylor’s ability to connect abstract spiritual concepts to tangible imagery is impressive. For instance, the fireplace symbolizes love, offering warmth and comfort, while the chimney represents prayer, carrying the essence of our spiritual offerings to God. The steps and porch symbolize the desire to connect with God, while the table and chairs reflect unity and humility in fellowship. Taylor encourages readers to examine their own spiritual "house" and consider how each element contributes to their relationship with God. What Kind of House Are You? is a guide for those seeking to deepen their spiritual understanding and relationship with God. Its unique approach to illustrating spiritual growth through the metaphor of a house offers readers a practical and engaging framework for reflection and self-improvement.
