Stand is a call to really live. To live out your Christian life – standing on the truth of who God is and who you are in him. Standing on the reality of what he’s done. Standing firm in battle. Standing up for others and being prepared to stand out. In the steps of 'Mere Christianity' and 'The Fight', Karl Martin re-tells and re-frames God’s ancient call to discipleship and witness for a new generation, keeping Jesus firmly at the centre.
Overall, it was clearly and succinctly and excellently written, and meant for people like me still churning through faith and turned off by hundreds of pages of presumptuous philosophy. The parts that resonated (ie: chapter on pride...) really resonated. The only places this book didn't measure up to what I wanted from it personally were when the examples were straight from Central's ministry, because I'm not a church leader looking for new advice. I'm still just a churchgoer trying to be a better Christian.
