I have a guest post review today! My husband was very excited to read and review No Easy Jesus by Jason Mitchell for Tyndale Blog Network. Here are his thoughts about this book.
As a pastor I am always looking for ways to help people in
their walk with the Lord. I love to read books that will teach me something and
encourage me in my pursuit of godliness. That is why I was excited about No
Easy Jesus: How the Toughest Choices Lead to the Greatest Life.
Too often we are taught that when we begin a relationship
with Jesus that our life will be better and that is true to some degree. But if
by better we mean easy, then we are greatly mistaken. Life is full of tough
choices and being a Christian can sometimes make those choices even harder.
Have you ever watched other Christians living fulfilled
lives and think to yourself, “Why can't I have what they have?” Sometimes we think that being fulfilled in the Christian life is only for a few elite Christians. The truth is Jesus wants you to live the greatest life possible.
One of the things I love about this book is the author’s
openness and transparency. I felt I could relate to him. He talks about his
struggles in life and how he has found that the secret to living the greatest life possible is a willingness to
make the tough choices to follow Jesus each day. In the book, Jason Mitchell says, “It’s a clarion challenge
to wake up each day and choose Jesus all over again; to make the tough, gritty
choices that align your way with His and lead to true fullness of life. Because
when you decided to follow Jesus, you didn’t sign up for what was easiest―you
signed up for what was best.”
No Easy Jesus will challenge you to make the tough choices
so that you can experience the best life possible. If you desire a deeper walk
with Jesus than this book is a must read for you.
