What God Wishes Christians Knew About Christianity
by Dr. Bill Gillham

Reviewed by: Fred

"If it's the truth that sets us free, then error can certainly bind us." 

That's the way one writer describes the reason for this book.  The truth about who we are in Christ and the power he exerts to live victoriously through us are critical, life-changing concepts.  In fact, God has used this book in my life so much that I find it difficult not to speak to people about it.  Through a careful examination of God's word, this book has changed the way I see God, myself and others.

On the back flap it asks these questions:

• Am I still trying to measure up to God's law, or am I resting in His grace?
• Am I trying to overcome temptation and sin on my own, or am I letting Jesus do it through me?
• Do I consider myself literally righteous in Christ, or am I just a forgiven sinner who is waiting to become righteous in heaven?

Dr. Bill walks through scripture and points out the liberating truths related to each.  I know they made me rethink my relationship with Jesus and truly understand critical aspects of it for the very first time.  I can honestly say that I am closer to Jesus because of this teaching and that I am actually beginning to understand the "unforced rhythms of grace" that we are called to walk in.

If you can get past the presumptuous title to give this a read, you will be blessed by it's dynamic chapters.  If you do, and it does, let me know.  Blessings!
