Magnify: The Pursuit of Glorifying the Lord
If we take a good look around us, it may become clear that our world doesn't appear to be the way God initially intended it to be. This deterioration happened initially in the garden of Eden and exists in full effect to this day. If we look at our own lives, we may wonder how we have played a role in this brokenness. The question then Where do we go from here? Magnify seeks to answer this question by taking a look under the hood at how we tend to view both God and ourselves. It examines God's word, the Bible, to discern how we may position our lives to do what we were initially created to "magnify the Lord" (Ps 34).

This was good. I really appreciate Lindell‘s effort to keep it scripture based. It felt as if every other sentence was backed by scripture and I really appreciate that. Overall I think that this book was great in its practicality and I think that it could really be a good book for new believers to propel them deeper into their walk with Jesus. I also appreciate Lindell approaching somewhat difficult questions, yet again answering them with what scripture says and not himself. Overall good read.

“Your primary motive in life must be to elevate your King and to bring him more glory.”
That single line summarizes Lindell’s desire for the reader — to be encouraged to magnify the Lord.
Lindell’s Magnify challenges, encourages and edifies the reader; all in a truth-filled way. He uses scripture throughout the entirety of the book not just to make his own points, but more importantly, to let God’s word speak for itself in how the believer can pursue glorifying the Lord in their day-to-day.
The author packs a punch with numerous one-liners that provoke the believer to continue their path to holiness. I wrote my favorites down and will leave them below.
Overall, I’d recommend this book to any and all believers! Very solid, short, and extremely applicable. Loved it!
————————
“We would rather be told what to believe by someone in power who speaks about things we agree with rather than put in the hard work to encounter a truth that might challenge us.”
“If I fail to see myself as the problem, I’ll never be able to truly receive the solution.”
“When we choose to surrender to the path God has chosen for us, the beauty of the cross grows with each passing moment.”
“There is a great cost to surrendering to Jesus and a person’s faith that extends only to their title (being a “Christian”) just doesn’t cut it in the eyes of the Lord.”
“Those who claim to be saved by Jesus’ blood but have lives that look identical to the rest of the world make a mockery of the cross.”
“We as the church play a large role in the reason many people believe Christian’s are hypocrites.”
“Stagnation doesn’t exist in the realm of our walks with the Lord.”
“Truth is not a spectrum, it is binary.”
“Let your life be marked by an individual passion for the Lord that wells up into a yearning to expand his kingdom to the masses for the sake of his glory.”
