Book Review: A Delightful Confirmation...
Summary: 5 Stars
"We are all performers. One question remains: Will you perform to gain the acceptance and pleasure of your audience- and always feel that you have failed? Or will you perform out of a heart of trusting delight, knowing you have already pleased your Audience?" pg. 145
For some this book will be a pleasure to read, as it echoes the cry they have heard in their own hearts, to be free. "Fake it, till you make it" is a popular teaching heard from pulpits around the world. Many have grown weary of playing the part of perfection in their everyday lives, while feeling like a fraud behind the scenes.
For others, who have found their identity in mastering a more works-based, score-keeping ideal of Christianity, this book may prove to be an uncomfortable read.
The authors of Truefaced, in their witty yet apparently time-tested wisdom, present a very clear picture of the state of christian faith from their view. They offer a different perspective of the desires of God for His people than what has been accepted in many streams of belief. Over the course of 7 chapters, the message of the Gift of Grace is relayed to readers in a way that will reshape their motives and transform their relationships with God and people through the power of Love, Repentance and Forgiveness.
Truefaced's Experience Edition helps readers to grasp the main points within each chapter, by providing "Did You Discover" sections. It is here that bite-sized, quotable points are listed for review of each chapter's content. This feature along with the authors' notes provided in the back of the book make this an excellent tool for personal enrichment and a superb catalyst for discussion in a group study.
I personally enjoyed reading this book on a very deep level. The debate of performance versus grace is one that is quite near to my heart. Each chapter is beneficial, whether it serves as new revelation or a rich, satisfying confirmation to what one's heart already knows for sure. For me, it was the confirmation that I needed, just at the precise time. Every believer would benefit from what is detailed among the pages of this encouraging work. I am grateful to have encountered each line.
