If you are looking for a well-rounded book on the Christian life with the usually emphasis on our fallen nature, our need for continual repentance and sacrificing self, you can look elsewhere. But for those who are already painfully aware of our shortcomings, this book is a welcome reminder of who we are in Christ. We are reminded of how God is for us and how, if we practice some simple to understand but challenging Scripturally-base principals, we can enjoy the blessing,power,and strength that being a child of God can offer. It really helped a dear friend who has always had trouble with negativity.
