Many Christians don't understand what to do. Told that they could not be good enough to please God but must turn to Jesus to forgive and change them, they were then told they should act like Christians, pleasing to God. When they asked how, they were either given a flawed list of rules or left to work it out for themselves. Paul wrote that we should work out our salvation, but also that having begun by the Spirit we should not be perfected by the flesh. He expected Christians would know how to act, but opposed those who would give them rules. This book offers insights into how to do this, showing how the same concepts on which our salvation is based provide for us the way we should live.
This short book is packed with insights into why we are free and the responsibility we have towards God and our fellow humans as a consequence of that freedom....I loved the book and will definitely be looking for opportunities to pass it on.

Now here is a great little book,...there were several really great insights that MJ made throughout the book, that either confirmed something I've held deeply or gave me a fresh perspective on an issue....If you are looking for a great book on Christian Living, and especially if you are sick and tired of all the rehashed legalism out there, then look no further.

...one of the world's most underappreciated teachers.

For those who are interested in why faith demands action, what actually is the 'Weaker Brother' talking about, why a Christian fellowship could be ineffective, why to be humble first you believe yourself to be filled with good thing and many more, I highly recommend MJ's book.
