I really enjoyed this one. It’s long at some points, feels like perhaps it could have been condensed. But every chapter has some heavy hitting points I’ll carry with me, and the last chapter is a masterclass.
I love that it is not just a call to self denial, indeed it is a call to love our world, our neighbors, and the life God has given us, but not out of a place of martyrdom. Instead, out of a place of knowing fully out identity is in the finished work of Christ, thus we are freed up to not work to build a fading image in this world, but instead be faithful and kind.
