Synopsis

God’s love has the power to change lives. Christians, then, should exhibit the greatest transformation of all because, rightly understood and cherished, God’s love makes them increasingly more like the One who has lavished his love on them. So why do we so often struggle to exhibit God’s love?Biblical counselor Elyse M. Fitzpatrick asks one simple question: “In your pursuit of godliness, have you left Jesus behind?” We need to be rescued from our “identity amnesia” and pointed to our true identity as God’s beloved children—adopted by the Father, united with the Son, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Fitzpatrick shows how a genuine transformation of identity leads to a transformation of our daily lives.Those who struggle with either legalism or lawlessness will find encouragement to return to God’s love, the source of authentic and lasting change.

I wanted to like this more--I wholeheartedly agree with the premise that in our pursuit of Christ we have left Him behind. But the book did not flow well for me; each chapter seemed much the same. There were some gems to be sure, but they were not easily mined.......more
