The themes set forth in Romans 12, where believers are called to present themselves to God as living sacrifices, drive the conversation in this book. We are summoned to the altar of God's presence through the finished work of Christ on our behalf. The Christian life is presenting ourselves to Him every moment, of every day, all the days of our life. This is what I am calling, "Life on the Altar." If you are a Christian who wants to align, or realign, your life commitments with the purposes of God, this book is for you. But it is also for those who have not tasted the goodness of God's grace found in Christ. The message of this book is extended to you as well. My prayer is that you would come to Christ with the open arms of faith and join us as we seek to live for Him.
Wow! This is a beautiful read. I would go so far as to say this book is more of a commentary or companion piece to go along with Bible study. I would definitely not call this book a devotional. It goes so much more in depth into our relationship with Christ and our worship unto Him! I had more passages highlighted in this book than probably all other inspirational non-fiction I’ve ever read. LIFE ON THE ALTAR is so much deeper than “read a passage and quote a prayer each day”. Stay with it, really read and absorb it and you will get so much more from it. You know, like that other inspired WORD we glean so much from?! I think that in itself is what I loved most about this book. You will find something new and eye opening each time you read it. So much truth. So much knowledge Bottom line: A great accompaniment to daily Bible reading. 5 stars
I was given an eARC copy of this book from NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Publishing for my honest review.
