Book Reviews of The Calvary RoadBook Review: Life Impacting for the Desperate and Needy Summary: 5 Stars
I was 16 the first time I read this book and it greatly impacted my life then. It was the first stepping stone to walking in freedom in Christ, showing me that the fears, insecurities and shyness that I never thought of (and even blamed others for, "If only they'd do this...") were from my own sins, and Jesus could free me from them.
Life has taken many paths and I forgot much of what was talked about in the book, and more recently the old fears and insecurities crept in again. I picked up the book again and the Lord exposed the places I'd tried to hide - where I'd tried to be strong, able, and just proud, trying to prove that I was okay, rather than agreeing with God that I'm not good without Him, and letting Jesus be my goodness. I discovered that the thing I was running from (conviction, brokenness, and humility) is the thing that has brought me the peace I otherwise hadn't been able to find.
Book Review: Real Eye Opener!!! Summary: 5 Stars
As a friend of mine once said, the best book on grace ever written. Having been saved for almost eight years, I really struggled with guilt and shame over sins I still struggled with and do struggle with. After reading this book, it is like someone removed scales from my eyes and a veil from my mind. Every Christian should have this in their library. It teaches about how much the Lord really does want to help us, and most importantly how much he really does want to be with us on an individual level.
Book Review: The Calvary Road Summary: 5 Stars
I wish I had known about this book when I first became a Christian. Hession's words are truly God-inspired. Must read for Christians at any "age."
