Such a great read. Water for the soul! It is amazing in our christian walk how we can take the simplest of things and get it turned around. The best part of this book, was the foundation was built on the condition of my heart, what are my motives, whom am I really serving (the King or myself), and why am I serving (for the sake of the gospel). The last part of the book was the work of the holy spirit. Something that I have never comtemplated was Jesus as a Prohpet, (reveals the will of God to us for our salvation by his word and spirit), A priest, (christ offeres himself as a sacrifice) and King (Christ brings us under his power and defends us). Christ continues to serve mankind from heaven by fulfilling each of these positions. This book is a great resource for anyone who is serving, has served and wants to serve. If you loose focus, the gospel centered message will bring you back. If you grow weary, the message of the cross will strengthen you. If you don't know where to start, it teaches how God is glorified when we appreciate God's glorious character and works, adores his presence, and share God's affection towards his people, and subjects itselt to his will.

If you church is looking for a way to encourage your members to serve without guilt, manipulation, but with a heart after God, this is a great resource. Gospel centered, trinity friendly, cross exalting.
