"if we are not careful, it is very easy to forget who is central to everything we do - namely our Lord Jesus" Whilst this book seems to be primarily written for those who don't know Jesus, the sentence above summarises why we really all need to read books like this often. It's hard to write a review about so short a book. But sometimes, as this book shows, there is real beauty in simplicity and succinctness. Simply put, it's a short, Christ-centred book reminding (or teaching) us of who Jesus is, and what he has done.
Succinct, solid book from Wellum. Some of his terminology choices are a bit technical on occasion (which might make it uphill sledding for people just getting into these things), but it is nevertheless a worthwhile introduction to the person and work of Christ.
