Back to the Source: 30 challenges to be, say and do life the Jesus way

by Krish Kandiah

You want to be just like Jesus, because this is the way he made you. Like a piano awaits a maestro. Like clay awaits a potter. Like canvas awaits a painter. Our lives long to be shaped by Jesus. Living like Jesus does not mean you will have no use for bridges or swimming gear because you will have learned to walk on water. You can never be the sinless supernatural Son of God and Saviour of the World. But because God made you to be like Jesus, calls you to follow him and sends his Spirit to make you more like him, there is hope. There are habits, attitudes, passions, disciplines, role-models, visual aids and real-life examples that are offered in Scripture and explored in this book. As you discover and develop these, you will find that your life connects with Jesus in many more ways than the thirty explored in this book

[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.
