Deeper: Real Change for Real Sinners (Union)

Product Information

A book that shows how growing deeper in Christ is not by doing and becoming but by grace and knowing God’s heart. When we wonder about what to do with the time we’ve got left and how we can love the Lord Jesus more, you will find the words bringing you back to biblical truths, directing you to gaze wholeheartedly on Jesus. By looking to Christ and truly understanding who He is, and what He did for us, we grow to love Him more.

They are both under the umbrella of union, but the process of sanctification is also spurred on by a proper recognition of what took place at justification.

I reviewed one of the titles in this series before ( Rejoice and Tremble: The Surprising Good News of the Fear of the Lord) and thoroughly enjoyed it.I sometimes would have to stop and do something else because I could imagine the complete blackness and being 5 miles under ground. When comparing the full-size book with the concise version, the reader will note that the print is smaller and fainter in the concise version. When I began this book, I was discouraged by the depth of my sin and was despairing of my ability to change. The apostle Paul’s explanation in 2 Corinthians 4:4 is my favorite, hands down: “the gospel of the glory of Christ.

It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure… It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents. I see a lot of reviewers saying the characters are not likable and that is why they give it a lower rating and I simply don't get that way of thinking.

After finishing his phenomenal work on the character of Christ in his previous book, "Gentle and Lowly," I didn't think he could so quickly produce another amazing book! Ortlund (PhD, Wheaton College) is the executive vice president of Bible publishing and Bible publisher at Crossway.

The central challenge that Deeper addresses is the reader’s fight against three-step, punchy, alliterated solutions to problems only solvable through union with Christ. Only when it finally vanished from sight behind the briar hedges did she turn to gaze at the grassy slopes that rose on either side of the road. W drugim tomie wraz z bohaterami będziemy kontynuować przygodę od miejsca, w którym zakończyła się w poprzedniej części.

Having addressed this, the book then goes on to give helpful, practical ways to meditate on Scripture, to focus on the truths of the Bible and to quieten/challenge all the voices in today's culture. This book will help Christians who feel overwhelmed by their thought life, as well as those who want to go deeper in their devotional life. Yet even as the challenges and doldrums arise to the reader, Ortlund paces each chapter to provide comfort as we reflect on our failure and the far-surpassing achievements of our savior.

The nine chapters of this book are not sequential steps in growing; they are different facets of the one diamond of growth. let your union with Jesus, the friend of sinners, take you deeper, ever deeper, into the wonders of the gospel. In his words, “This is a book with one point: Be astonished at the gracious heart of Jesus Christ, proven in his atoning work in the past and his endless intercession in the present. His embrace of you is the point of your life… He wants you to know a love that is yours even when you feel undeserving or numb. And what mother loves her kids enough to take them out of the colony and then just drop him off somewhere and walk away while he's screaming for you?A short, refreshing book with ideas for the busy woman who wants to meditate on the Word more completely. He is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers and Deeper: Real Change for Real Sinners . At the outset, the author urges the reader to ‘be patient with yourself’, ‘open your heart to the possibility of real change in your life’ and ‘don't consume this book but reflect your way through it’. Deeper is primarily a book about sanctification (growing more and more like Christ) but also spends some time talking about justification.
