Reading this book was like breathing clean air and coming out of amnesia and remembering who I really am. There's an allegorical story running through the duration of this short book and the quality of writing alone is really good. It emphasizes the love of God, the friendship of God, and the righteousness of God, along with our inability to bring about our own salvation. I don't know about you, but I forget that every single flippin day. I am tempted to immediately start reading this book again. It's been balm to my heart. There are so many good truths and reminders and re-focusers in it.
Second read-through: still really really good. I'm happy that some of the truths in here have settled between my first reading and this one. This reading really highlighted that I still am working on trusting in God's kindness towards me, but I am on that road.

This book is unique in writing style/presentation and really has incredible insights. There were one or two chapters I didn’t quite follow, but this is also a book that I will revisit many times!

Mixed content in this book makes it difficult to recommend. While I agree with principles of Grace-based love of God- it feels if this book villiainizes those who also seek to have disciplines in their lives or who are “hard on sin”. I think it would be beautiful if we could reach an understanding of the balance and need for both in the Christian life.
