review 1: Do you believe you're too far gone to be saved? That making heaven is all up to you? Do you struggle with the idea that Christians who think and act differently than you are God's children too?Grab this book. Though non-fiction, it's engaging, well-written, and it does an excellent job of addressing these unBiblical beliefs that easily seep into a Christian's mindset.Missing the boat regarding God's will... That last one has hit home as it's something I've struggled with, and I especially appreciated the author's commentary on the distance between the places Paul traveled in Acts 16:6-10. It's comforting to know that even he could be all over the map in his efforts to follow God's leading, and it's never too late to get back on the right track.Although I agree that a true,... more blood-bought, Spirit-sealed Christian shouldn't fear losing their salvation, I couldn't quite accept some of the author's explanations of difficult passages in the Bible. But they are hard passages, and anyone brave enough to attempt explanations has my tip-of-the-hat. :-) The points I disagreed on didn't keep me from enjoying and benefiting from the book. I would recommend to Christians weary and struggling in their walk with the Lord.
review 2: I picked this book because I was struggling with feeling "good enough" to serve in Jesus' name. I would sometimes ask God, "Why me? Do you really think I can be a missionary? I'm not that great. Sometimes I'm lazy. It seems like you would want someone with more endurance, more knowledge… one who doesn't sin."I was feeling afraid & worried. I was struggling with the weight of this new endeavor we were getting ready to take on. I needed a kick in the butt, and this book gave it to me. It reassured me that Jesus knows everything about me, and He is still inviting me to be His disciple. I am learning to rest in that knowledge. I'm learning to rest in the peace that God has already accepted me. I'll follow Jesus passionately & energetically from here on out. less
