Many Christians talk about what they are trying to be, what they need to be, and what they are going to be, but this book is about who you are NOW and what you have NOW as a believer.
Hankins is a mediocre writer. The prose in this book is choppy and occasionally there are sentences and paragraphs that appear to have been randomly dropped into the text for no apparent reason. It's almost as if he wrote the book in a stream of consciousness and periodically was distracted from his topic. There are also demonstrable errors of fact in the book.
However, the overall message of the book is excellent. Hankins makes a strong biblical argument for what it means to be "in Christ".
wow. i expected a lot more than was delivered by this book. i think the case is that hankins is a better speaker than he is writer. there were some very good and valid points in the book. it helped me think a little more on some things.
i didn't like how he relied on so many other people's quotes. or, how he misquoted a famous slogan, which made me doubt his other quotes. or, how he would say the same thing over again as if it were the first time he said it.
the book was very disjointed and really hard to read. i did underline some stuff and bracket other things, because, like i said, it has some strong points in it. it's another book that could've been better as a mini-book. interestingly enough, this was the "revised and expanded" version. maybe the original (shorter one) was better?
