Deeper: Real Change for Real Sinners by Dane C. Ortlund

5.0

A beautiful, gentle, precious encouragement to truly grow in your walk by looking at and seeking the face of Jesus. Ortlund walked through the simple truth that we should never, ever "graduate from the Gospel." The Gospel is the cornerstone of our entire journey as Christians. He goes on to say that the way to actually grow in Christ, is to stop looking at yourself and trying to watch yourself change but to strive to let the Spirit increase the beauty of Christ and just look at Him, chase after Him. I loved the chapter on breathing. He makes two vital disciplines so very simple, encouraging you to treat Scripture and prayer as breath. Breathe in Scripture, breathe out your prayer. This practice is as important to our lives as actually breathing.
