Welcome to Litsy!

4⭐️ I quite liked this book. Very introspective and informative. There were a number of things I liked about the book; would like to purchase a paperback copy when it comes out. And he mentions what he intended to say in regards to the Nikki Haley comment that lead to his firing #2024 #memoir #religion #nonfiction #politics

I wasn‘t sure at first on this book, but the more I read, I started to see a full vision of what could be. I think a lot about the type of home we are creating for my kids-the environment, stretching, encouragement, etc. This book gave some excellent guidelines and ideas to help make our home a place where our kids can thrive!

Super overdue review for my June #DoubleSpin. I read this for a spiritual direction seminar, and found a lot of it really helpful as far as the practicalities of spiritual direction—both in practicing spiritual direction with others, as well as honestly confronting your own internal habits and avoidances. A lot of it is really dated, especially when it comes to gender, but I will definitely return to it for the wisdom it offers in many other ways.

Wow.
I finished the bulk of this book in under 24 hours. I‘m not sure this has ever happened for me for a non fiction, Christian read. The author gives a compelling vision for what life could be, if we were only willing to take the bold step of becoming Jesus‘ apprentices. I loved it, it filled me with excitement and gave me tools for becoming closer to Jesus.
Thanks so much to NetGalley and the Publisher for this advanced review copy.

My uncle gave me a copy of this book last Easter and this morning called to check up on my progress with it. Known as one of the biggest readers in the family, I promised to actually read it before this Easter so I can return it to him. Admittedly, this isn‘t the sort of book I would pick up on my own, but I love my family and am interested to discuss this at the end of the month and see what are the points that have stuck with him the most.

I so appreciate Tozer and his understanding and insight into God's character through His word. The whole book is a good read, but I keep it nearby to read and reread because of all it's practical applications.

This book was truly ground-breaking for me, and one that I plan to return to often. Idolatry is something I really struggle with, and a sin that is rarely discussed in modern times. This book was eye-opening, convicting, and encouraging, offering wisdom and advice alongside practical steps for help. Highly recommend.

Ryle delivers with this book. He expounds on the foundations and tenets of Christianity remarkably well. If you‘re a Christian and want to grow in the Spirit or if you‘re simply curious about the religion, I recommend this book to you

I loved this book. It‘s like a long, slow breath of fresh air and very much needed as someone who is in full time vocational ministry for the long haul.

Just read this again as we were leading a class on it, and it was just as powerful as the first time. I have instituted a lot of the principles in my life but gleaned new insight the second time around.
