The Gospel According to Jesus

I finally got done recently with the latest offering from Chris Seay entitled The Gospel According to Jesus: A Faith that Restores all Things. This book tackles the fact that 84% of Christians do not even understand the concept of righteousness. In the book Seay gives us a clear understanding of this and lays it out in a way that is easy to understand. I did not find this book challenging to my current thoughts which is okay since I was on the same page for most of the book. This could be why it took me awhile to plod through this book while reading others. One of my favorite chapters though was Justification: Rise or Fall. This was particularly useful in a recent small group setting dealing with a common subject of good works. I pointed to the equation in this chapter of Jesus+anything does not equal Christian salvation. Although simple it helps to underscore our righteousness in God's eyes. I did enjoy this book but I did find it to be a beginners guide that would serve well with new Christians and a refresher for those that are strong in their faith and understanding of righteousness.
I did receive this book for free in exchange for an honest review from Booksneeze. I was not obligated to give a good review of the book.
