To live is Christ has been written by someone who was willing to take the challenge to walk in obedience to Jesus Christ. After losing her husband twelve years ago, with two children to bring up, Alison Hill chose to walk closely with God and to listen to His voice. As you read you will find out how she took hold of God and His teachings at some of the most difficult times in her life, learning to hear the Lord in depth, revealing to us what needs to take place, for us to truly follow the Lord of Lord's and the King of Kings.
This book challenges us to move from our places of comfort and go on a journey of intimacy with God. To listen to Him, instead of just giving our requests or pouring out our complaints. The author tells of her personal trauma of the sudden death of her husband and how that affected her and her family, but through that, God has taken her into a deeper relationship with Himself. She encourages us to dream 'God' dreams and grasp hold of the purposes God has planned for us through intimacy with Himself. We are diamonds in the hands of God, and diamonds are created through great pressure. One chapter is called, 'Our Purpose is Greater than our pain', it tells how God uses our past to shape our future. The whole book is backed up with scripture. This book has spurred me on to listen to what God is saying in every situation. To Live Is Christ: A Manual Revealing the Steps to Freedom in Christ
