Slave

Book Review:
Slave: The Hidden Truth About Your Identity in Christ by John MacArthur

A unique and fascinating look at a side of Christianity that no one wants to acknowledge.  A poignant study of the Bible and the story that it tells and the demands that those who call themselves Christians really have.  THis book redefines how we as english speakers must approach our own hermeneutics of the Bible. What MacArthur really does is open up the dialogue of what it means to be a Christian, as well as the message that Paul and the other New Testament writers are trying to tell us about who God is, and who we are in relationship with God.  With constant Biblical and non-Biblical references to specific passages to back up his position and building off of what a few other offers have written in relation to this topic.  There is a plethora of addition information that can be tapped into with in the book.  Slave is more than a book, it is an invitation to study and read the Bible from a new perspective.  If you are a follower of Christ, or want to know more about what it means to follow him, there are few more truthful accounts outside of the Bible to explain what it truly means.  This is a Bible study, a book and an introspective lens all in one.  A truly fantastic addition to any library, theologian or layperson alike.
