Very understandable, encouraging. Enjoyed the material gave me some I sight as to my goals for resting with Jesus.


I have a desire to rest with Jesus. I am trying to improve my relationship with Jesus and I am wanting to see the reality of the forgiveness of sin.

This is a fantastic concept. I love Andrew Murray’s work, but I acknowledge that some might prefer a more summarized version of his prose.

The book is almost entirely composed of one- or two-sentence paragraphs, leaving it feeling very disjointed with no flow at all. Thoughts that should build naturally are presented as individual sound bites, making it harder to follow than Murray’s original work.

It seems odd that a work designed to be a condensation has so much repetition.

I guess it feels more like Cliff’s Notes than a summarized adaptation. It’s a great idea, but there’s enough of a loss of the overall flow to make it hard to really come away with the flavor of the original work.

I know some people may prefer this sound-bite form, but for me there is way too much lost from Murray’s original work. I give the author serious points for seeing the power of Murray’s work and wanting to make it more accessible! I just feel like he may have gone too far. For me, the original Abide in Christ is still worth the time.

I chose to read this book because my focus this year is learning what it means to abide in Christ. I learned so much and have made many highlights. There are 31 short chapters that work well if you want to read this book in a month. It's a book I will return to. If you want to learn what real rest is, then I recommend this book to you.

Excellent!

I enjoyed this refreshing book regarding rest in Jesus, which is to me the exceptional fruit of the Spirit - PEACE, so needed and hard to find in our busy, workaday world.

Didn’t keep my full attention

I learned some important things but it didn’t grasp my attention! I loose focus quick if there’s no thrill! But I wish the best for the author
