Ephesians is one of my favourite books of the Bible, so I really appreciated Furman's approach to this gem hidden in the New Testament. "Alive in Him" is a thematic study of Ephesians. Instead of plodding through verse-by-verse, Furman takes one chunk at a time and goes through it's topic, and it's theme. Her subtitle - how being embraced by the love of Christ changes everything - is well suited to this book, and really brings to light the magnificent work Jesus did on the cross. This is a lovely new book for devotion times or quiet times, while working through the book of Ephesians.
I received this book very graciously from the publisher in return for my fair and honest review.

Gloria Furman has amazing knowledge of the Bible. I am always in awe of the beautifully crafted sentences she writes in her books. I must admit, however, they often go above my head and I find myself having to re-read passages several times before I completely comprehend what she is trying to convey. Her study of Ephesians was not a verse-by-verse study, but rather a thematic study of the text. I enjoyed the study and learned a lot from her teachings. I will continue to pick up her books in the future, but just know going in, her books are meant to be savored, not plowed through.
