"Becoming a Christian means being sick of your sin, longing for forgiveness and rescue from present evil and future hell, and affirming your commitment to the Lordship of Christ to the point where you are willing to forsake everything. I've said it before and I'll say it again: it isn't just holding up your hand or walking down an aisle and saying, 'I love Jesus.'" ?John M ...more

When you select a book from John MacArthur you can expect it to theologically sound. This book is certainly that. Usually his books are . . . a little more challenging than I found this one. Maybe that's because the subject matter is both difficult for many and important enough that he wanted to make it more easily understood by everyone.
I think the title can be misunderstood. People could read it and think it's going to be about Jesus. It's really about us and how we relate to Christ -- what ou ...more

Part of why I like John MacArthur is because he doesn't pull punches. He stays pretty close to the Bible whenever he expounds topically and always provides practical insights and wisdom. I'm currently enjoying a daily dose of his thoughts with Moments of Truth and I always have at least one of his books in my "to-read" stack. This series (The Truth about...), offers a few thematic quick reads (about 100 pages) that cut to the chase on some popular topics.

Actually read Kindle edition.
A disappointing, yet not surprising added volley to MacArthur's decades long tussle with Free Grace Theology (which he calls the "No Lordship" position.
Complete with lists of rules and barometers of faith, long on admonition and rules, with plenty of criticism of the late Free Grace theologian Zane Hodges, this book will help many figure out where their neighbors are falling short in their Christian lives, and why heaven seems so sparsely populated.

John is a top tier preacher. No one should deny that. And this book is essentially a long-form sermon. If you're a fundamentalist Evangelical Christian you will be comforted by the assurance of faith and challenged to convert to the christian sect of Calvinism.

The book is about establishing the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It also part of a a three part “Truth” book series. Written by well-known author John MacArthur, The Lordship of Christ details the reasons why God deserves our all and what it means to live fully for Christ.
Not a heavy read but good for young Christians or older ones who need refreshing! This is a book to encourage a deeper walk with Jesus Christ. Altho ...more

"The Truth About the Lordship of Christ" by John MacArthur is another installment in "The Truth About" trilogy. My expectation about the book was that it would be an examination of the life of Christ: who He is, His ministry, His fulfillment of Scripture regarding the prophesied Messiah. Instead, it was primarily focused on Christian living. It was good subject matter, just not what I was expecting.

The Truth About the Lordship of Christ is basically, your typical MacArthur writing. Biblical, insightful, and one that does a good job of covering this eternally important subject. The Lordship of Christ applies to everyone. Philippians 2 tells us that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. That is not open for debate. Richard Dawkins will confess this. Nancy Pelosi will confess this. Donald Trump will confess this. Bernie Sanders will confess this. Obama will actually bow the kne

“The Truth About the Lordship of Christ” (ISBN 9781400204168) by John MacArthur is the second of his “The Truth About” series. I guess first I should include a quote regarding what it means to be Christian.
“Becoming a Christian means being sick of your sin, longing for forgiveness and rescue from present evil and future hell, and affirming your commitment to the Lordship of Christ to the point where you are willing to forsake everything. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it isn’t just h...more

A few months ago I was very excited about reviewing The Truth About Forgiveness, so I decided to order another book in the series on the Lordship of Christ. Overall I really like this book. Comparatively speaking, I liked Forgiveness a little bit better, but that in no way means that this book was bad.
MacArthur’s biggest strength here is the simplicity in which he presents his information. From what I’ve read of MacArthur, he doesn’t sugar coat his words and lets those doctrines that are offensi ...more

I just cannot say enough about this series, "The Truth About Forgiveness/the lordship of Christ/Grace!" This series is absolutely incredible. It's a home run for Thomas Nelson and John MacArhtur and an incredible work of the Holy Spirit.
"The lordship of Christ" provides the TRUTH about justification, sanctification, and salvation. Again, just as in "The Truth About Forgiveness," John MacArthur writes the most powerful message on this topic that I have ever read. It is often to comprehend aspects ...more

Let me start by saying that I really admire John MacArthur as a Bible teacher. I’ve read more of his books and his teaching is usually solid. This book, The Truth About the Lordship of Christ is no exception, but it does suffer from some serious shortcomings. First of all, it seems to lack cohesion. There’s a lot of truth and important truth at that, but I missed an overall theme or a bigger line that connected all the dots. A second issue is that many important theological issues and viewpoints
