Flourish: How the Love of Christ Frees Us from Self-Focus by Lydia Brownback
3.0
Flourish is a Christian living book by author Lydia Brownback. The tagline reads: How the Love of Christ Frees Us from Self-Focus. I wanted to read this book because it is typical for humanity to have self-focus instead of always having the focus on Christ. I like that the author admits to her own weakness of self-consciousness, she’s not trying to portray herself as perfect.
This is a short book that is an encouragement, even though I didn’t always agree with the author. I do wish the quotes the author uses would have references with the quote. I did notice, on page 83, when she quotes Dr. John MacArthur well known theologian and teacher of the Word, she referenced him with his quote.
There is a list of references at the back of the book, which is fine if you are not reading from an ebook, along with general and scripture indexes. There is also a 30 day study guide for individual or group study.
I want to thank Crossway Publishers for giving me the chance to review this book.
