Christ Our All: Gaze at Him
Does your seeming lack of Christian growth get you down? You’re not what you should be, not what you want to be?
Of course, you long to love Jesus more, and enjoy the spiritual warmth and vibrancy you once had. But maybe that was then, and now you’ve just got to put up with how things are.
The good news is that there is a genuine cure, however cold, dull, hypocritical—and discouraged—you may be feeling right now. You are not alone—far from it—nor do you need to put up with how things are a moment longer.
So, where do you go?
To Christ. He himself is the fountain that we need to refresh ourselves in as Christians. Constantly, we need to behold and gaze at him, because constantly we are prone to distraction, discouragement and a coldness in our love for him.
In Christ Our All, the author lifts our eyes off ourselves and onto the radiant, sufficient, and overflowing with grace. Allow this 14-day devotional to set Christ before you so that you gaze upon him, and in doing so, become like him. For when you see him for who he is and grasp his heart towards you, nothing in all the world can compare.

Such a great little devotional book, keeping the believer centered on Christ and not self. What a great encouragement, call to love and gaze upon the worthiness and beauty of our Savior. This is what we were made for, in Him we find fullness of joy.

Christ Our All is a warm, Christ-centred reminder that Jesus Himself is the fountain of our refreshment. Faulkner repeatedly brings the reader back to the place where we so often struggle to look: away from ourselves and toward Christ.
One of the strongest themes of the book is the danger of lingering too long in self-examination. While honest reflection and examining our hearts are biblical, Faulkner points out how easily we can become trapped looking inward until we are left with either despair or pride. The cure is not to try harder to fix ourselves, but to lift our eyes again to Christ.
I especially appreciated the reminder that our sin does not repel Jesus from us. Like the leper in the Gospels, we do not need to make ourselves clean before coming to Him. Jesus did not merely speak healing from a distance — He touched the leper. His compassion moves toward sinners with tenderness.
Another highlight was the encouragement to see the Father’s heart clearly: God does not love us because Christ died; Christ died because the Father loved us. Nothing we do can make Him love us more, and no failure can make Him love us less.
I particularly loved the section on how easy it is to serve Jesus while neglecting simply enjoying Him. Like Martha, we can sacrifice the joy of being with Christ in our desire to do things for Christ. Yet Jesus does not come to Martha with condemnation; His heart is for her. The same is true for us.
This is a gentle, encouraging book that consistently directs the reader back to Christ rather than toward greater self-monitoring. It is not the deepest theological treatment of these themes, but it is a helpful reminder to behold Jesus again — especially when our hearts feel distant.
The greatest gift of heaven is not merely a place, but a Person. Christ Himself is our reward.

In Christ Our All, Chance Faulkner writes a 14-day devotional that focuses your eyes to gaze at Christ. What I loved most was how many beautiful perspectives Faulkner presents.
This book reminded me of the great Puritans of the past, cutting to the heart with pointed questions while also encouraging and building your spirit up with Scripture. Here are three sections that stood out to me:
Friend
I was especially moved to see that being a sinner is not the obstacle to friendship with Christ. Rather, it is the prerequisite—it actually qualifies us to be His friend (Mark 2:17; Luke 5:31–32).
Shepherd
I was also struck by the picture of Christ as our Shepherd—and how far divine love is willing to go—all the way to death. And the power that raised Christ is the same power that secures us.
Portion
When examining Jesus as our portion, I saw myself in Martha when I don’t trust Jesus to get the work done or don’t see Him as enjoyable. But He is my good portion, and I was encouraged to rest in what He has done.
Wonderfully theological and written with reverence and joy, this book is a feast to nourish your faith in Christ. It will open and delight your eyes.
I received a media copy of Christ Our All and this is my honest review. @diveindigdeep

I’ll admit it, the cover of this book completely sold it to me. I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but the title and beautiful design drew me straight in.
This is a 14‑chapter devotional, each around 4–5 pages, beginning with a Bible verse and ending with a short prayer. Every chapter focuses on a different facet of Christ and invites the reader to gaze upon Him more closely. Of course, you can’t explore each theme in great depth within a few pages, but for Christians it offers a gentle, refreshing reminder of these central truths.
Overall, it’s a lovely short devotional; encouraging, accessible, and perfect to take away on holiday, which is what I did.
