"Rejoicing in Christ" by: Michael Reeves

Reeves does an amazing job of taking dense theological conversations and adapting it for the average lay person. He calls our attention to what is true about Christ and what we should be reveling in each day. I truly enjoyed reading this one! Notable Quotes: - "For every look at yourself, take ten looks at Christ." (Robert Murray M'Cheyne) - "We do not try to produce fruit in order to join the vine, or to stay in it; we bear fruit when we receive the life of the vine. Our part is to remain there." (page 98) Things to be aware of in "Rejoicing in Christ": Language: - 1 "stupidly" - 1 "da**ation" (in a spiritual sense)      Links to the book:  Amazon or Goodreads .
