A quick read about holistic growth. The content more like devotionals.

Good read, quick to complete .
Dods reveals those occasional pearls of truth in this short book that make it with reading. I do believe that Dods seems to put a heavy emphasis on the will of the person to the neglect of the power of the Holy Spirit . But, if someone keeps in mind that becoming holy is ultimately the work of God's grace through the power of the Holy Spirit working in a heart submitted to God there are lots of good lessons to be gleaned from this book. Dods also relies heavily on a metaphorical application of biblical narratives. Although, this is not a bad thing , it is often misunderstood . One should always look first to the primary intent of the passage and what it says before making a metaphorical application.

Thought Provoking!
This book was very detailed and had a deeply profound affect on me. I realized that being a true Christian really relies more on my faith in Christ then in my actions.

This is an interesting book with a great objective: becoming transformed into Christ's image. The author shares some interesting Biblical stokes to make his case.
