Disciplines for people from legalistic churches

Revisado: 04-26-19

This book is very helpful for people who come from legalistic backgrounds and basically gives encouragement and help with pursuing spiritual disciplines.

Starts out slow, but ends well.

Revisado: 01-22-19

For me, the last couple chapters are worth listening to for the perspective on the gospel, how beautiful it is, and how it applies to our post modern world. The opening chapters are academic and only slightly helpful, so many may want to skip them.

Good content at 1.5 speed

Revisado: 01-09-19

I was very encouraged by the content of this book, but the reader was difficult to listen to. I ended up interesting the speed to 1.5x and that made the reading listenable enough for me to finish the book. overall I would recommend.

Emphasized solidarity, but lacked hope of Jesus

Revisado: 12-19-18

This book was highly recommended, and I'm glad that the author put an emphasis on the minister entering into his own suffering and the suffering of his people. The author also had some good analysis of our current western culture.

However the book consistently under emphasized the implications of the fact that Christ did this for us. While listening to this book, I felt as if a weight was being placed on me - the weight of having to carry my own sufferings and add to that the sufferings of others. But Christ has born all our sufferings, and it is not by my power that I continue on, but by the power of Jesus worthing in me through the HS. I will fall, but he will pick me back up, and will lead me and others to a day where we are free from suffering and will be with him.

I was waiting for the author to get to this point of explaining our freedom and our source of hope and strength, and how it impacts the way we counsel others, but unfortunately that point in the book never came.

Thoroughly Engaging

Revisado: 07-08-18

The fact that the author is the one reading this book gives it a force which is difficult to quantify, but which adds greatly to the experience. The reader is born along with the author on this fascinating Journey. Highly recommend.

Unbalanced

Revisado: 05-24-18

At times the speakers sounded like apologists or cheerleaders for Nietzsche. They seem always to try to interpret him in the best possible light.

Very good rational apologetic book

Revisado: 04-01-18

This is a very good defense of the orthodox Christian beliefs. If you are looking for additional books like this, Keller's reason for God is good, or if you want an apologetic book aimed at people's hearts/emotions, his making sense of God is excellent.

In this book, Craig starts with a discussion on epistemology, which is the weakest part of the book in my opinion. He holds to the (common) belief in epistemological foundationalism, where I have come to hold to a more coherentist model.

However, I really enjoyed the rest of the book where he explores many arguments for God, and then discusses the historical evidence for Jesus life, death, and resurrection in a way that is understandable and well documented.

amazing

Revisado: 10-06-17

this book poetically explores the mysteries of suffering and death from a Christian perspective. Nicholas will not give you answers that don't exist, but he will grieve with you and let you know that you are loved.
