Deeper Real Change for Real Sinners

“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” —2 Peter 3:18 How do Christians grow? Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive. In this book, Dane Ortlund points believers to Christ, making the case that sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to him. Drawing on wisdom from figures throughout church history, Ortlund encourages readers to fix their gaze on Jesus in the battle against sin, casting themselves upon his grace and living out their invincible identity in Christ.

"Do you want to grow in Christ? Never graduate beyond the gospel. Move ever deeper into the gospel." "What is the Bible? It is your greatest earthly treasure. You will stand in strength, and grow in Christ, and walk in joy, and bless the world no further than you know this book." This wasn't a huge theological treatise, it was a hard-hitting, easy to read but wonderfully deep nine chapters on growing deeper into Jesus. It was good for people like me, who have been following Jesus for many years, and I imagine it will be good for those just starting out. I imagine I will be referring back to this book for a refresh button from time to time. I saved a bunch of nuggets in my highlights, but instead of sharing them all, I'll just encourage you to grab this book. I received an ecopy of Deeper from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review, but all opinions are my own.
