Good for new or more mature folks

This is an excellent book which explains very clearly about who Christ is and when we choose to accept the FACT of who he is, who we become in him. I would recommend this book for people who have just come to Christ and others who have walked with him for awhile. I've really enjoyed it!

Knowing Jesus

John Stott's "Life in Christ" is one of the best books I have ever read on the Christian's relationship to Jesus Christ. Basically, the author takes prepostitional phrases in the New Testament ("in Christ", "through Christ") and explores how they describe our relationship with the Lord. I don't know about you, but I tend to skip over those little prepositional phrases without thinking about them. I can't believe what I have missed! This book opened my eyes to amazing things about Jesus Christ. The subtitle of "Life in Christ" is "A Guide for Daily Living", which could be misleading for some people. Mr. Stott didn't write a how-to book or a self-help book listing daily activities that Christians should do (let's face it, there are enough of those out there already!). Instead, this book tells us WHY we should live the Christian life - because we are involved in a meaningful, personal relationship with Christ, our life. When we know how to relate to our Lord and Savior, the little details seem to take care of themselves. "Life in Christ" is about 180 pages, so it isn't some dense theological tome, but I urge you to spend as much time as possible with these amazing truths about our life in Jesus Christ. Highly recommended!
