Back to the Source: 30 challenges to be, say and do life the Jesus way...when you are not th

by Krish Kandiah

You want to be just like Jesus, because this is the way he made you. Like clay awaits a potter. Like canvas awaits a painter. Our lives long to be shaped by Jesus. But ' to be blunt ' - You are not the Son of God and Saviour of the world - You can't walk on water or heal leprosy - You don't want to give up your home and job, or get killed for your beliefs Yet there is truly hope, because God made you to be like Jesus. Christlike habits, attitudes, passions, disciplines, role-models, visual aids, and real-life examples are offered in Scripture and explored in this book. As you discover and develop these, you will find that your life really does connect with Jesus.

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

Finally finished reading this!! Not a book I'll be sad to see the end of! There was some interesting/thought provoking chapters but on the whole, I think it would have done better as 10 rather than 30 challenges as it felt very repetitive towards the last third of the book. Don't think it's a book I'll re-read.
