Reviews

[Willy Acosta · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great book on the subject of Christian perfection, due to its simplicity and thorough explanation over the subject of Christian perfection. I really enjoy the letters of Aumann and Greenstock and the funny and dramatic conflictive-like dialogue that they maintain in their correspondences. This book should, in my opinion, be more available than what it is currently online. Both Aumann and Greenstock provide a detailed opinion as to how they see the subject of perfection by employing concise ontological interpretations and properly structured perspectives that give the reader an almost absolute description of the elements that have a direct influence over the expression of Jesus' perfection as may be seen and experienced in each of our own lives. This book is a spiritual experience to put it simply, a well described wakeup call to those seeking purity of living. This book is quenching to say the least - PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!

Note: Although Goodreads does show only that the author is Jordan Aumann, David L. Greenstock is the person Aumann is sending letters to.
