Some books cannot be recommended enough. This one is a life-changer I wish I’d read 20 years ago.
“Christians can easily feel that Jesus is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. They know what Christ has done for them―but who is he? How does he feel about his people amid all their sins and failures?
