Christian books are a hard slog. <br /><br />I don't usually come across ones that I've really gelled with, but there are some bits from various books that have really stuck in my mind. It takes a long time for me to get through Christian books! <br /><br />I am currently reading a book on Hebrews by Steve Motyer (Crossway Bible Guides) It has taken me about six months to get where I am(!). But it is really interesting; it gets in depth with the bible and also provides a wider historical context which helps put things into context. It gets me really passionate about the atonement and Jesus in general! <br /><br />One thing that really struck me in this book was how Christ 'made' a way for us to come to God. He didn't just 'provide' a way, He became flesh and blood and created a way for us to come to Him. He is a creator God and He MADE a way for us to be one with him (at-one-ment)... really interesting and meaty stuff.:)Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982303402339523150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358207937360994610.post-55750241694254151042011-12-06T07:23:43.225-08:002011-12-06T07:23:43.225-08:00I LOVE that you enjoyed this book! Horray!
I'm...I LOVE that you enjoyed this book! Horray!<br />I'm the same about reading Christian books. I can easily read a couple of fiction books a week, but argh - I just find Christian reading such a struggle.<br /><br />The thing that changed me most from this book is the idea that God uses each person differently and that I just have to listen to God every day and he will tell me what to do. <br />So often I have this massive plan all formulated in my head, and I see how other people are living their lives and I think that if I am to be successful my life has to look like theres - but no, I need to listen to God for what he wants ME to do. For example there's no point stressing that I'm not evangelising enough and that I should have helped convert 20 people by the time I'm 30..I just have to listen to God and take the opportunities he gives me every day. <br /><br />It sounds simple but it's genuinely changed my life. I do think it's a lesson that will stay with me always! xRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952827342114488909noreply@blogger.com
