The Common Made Holy

Summary: This book changed my life.
Review: I have been a Christian for many years, but like so many, had really struggled with guilt, apprehension etc. as to whether I was "really saved". This book sums up the book of Romans; i.e. Salvation is a FREE GIFT of God. there's nothing you "have to do" (nor anything you CAN do) to "earn" salvation. In fact, it is referred to here as the Galation Heresy to somehow strive to achieve salvation. What Christ did He did for past sin, current sin, and future sin. All one "needs" to do is believe and trust. This is obviously an over-simplified synopsis, but it is just this knowledge that changed me from an anxiety-ridden, guilt-tripping Christian to a celebratory, thankful and victorious one. Read this book and it will change YOUR life, too! I cannot recommend it any more highly. God Bless you as you seek Him.

Summary: Poorly written and poorly thought out
Review: Though I've studied under Bob Saucy and read this book for his class I confess that it is very poor. It is trite and simplistic in its approach and Anderson thinks everything is demonic and seems to have zero common sense about him. Saucy tries to add some theological substance but it is hackneyed and not well thought out. Don't waste your time with this book when there are countless others that don't hurt so much to read.
