Taking Up Your Cross: The Unspeakable Joy of Following Jesus

Rating:
Summary: Holiness as Love for Jesus, Our Heavenly Bridegroom
Review: What a fabulous book for Lent--or for any time when you want to go deeper with God. This book deals with topics like humility, simplicity and holiness, but none of it is dry "lecturing." All of the encouragement is set in the context of the relationship between Jesus and the believer which the Bible describes as the "Bridegroom-Bride" paradigm. The author's central point is, who wouldn't want to be obedient if she were in love with someone as wonderful as Jesus is. This book will transform your views about God and religion!
