Jesse's Reviews > Absolute Surrender

Powerful book and great as long as you realize that God accepts us totally in Christ because of His absolute surrender for us on the cross. Our absolute surrender is the only appropriate response. Also, our surrender to Him is active obedience (Romans 12:1-2) and trust in Him. John Owen's little book "the mortification of sin" would be a good follow up to illustrate that we will always be putting to death the flesh by the power of the Spirit. It's not something you can do in an afternoon, but I lifelong response to Christ and His life, substitutionary death, resurrection, and current work as our perfect prophet, priest, and king.
