I am reviewing a copy of Unburdened through Baker Books and Netgalley:


Does following Jesus feel impossible to you?  Does trying to hard to be a good Christian leave you overwhelmed and exhausted?  In this book Vance Pitman reminds us that it is important to find how living with Jesus is not complicated, that in fact we need to let Jesus live through us. 




This book reminds us too that we are aiming at the wrong target when we get so wrapped up in the busy work of Christian living that we neglect to see the simplicity of letting Jesus live for us, that in fact we make something that is so simple, far more complex than it needs to be.




In Unburdened we are reminded that we can get so lost in the busy work of Christian living that we loose the personal time we need. 



We are reminded too that attending Church is not something we have to do but should in fact be something we want to do, because as a Christian the church is part of our community and going to the house of God is a privilege we have to get closer to God and to grow in that relationship, and we have the privilege of fellowshipping with our fellow believers.





We are reminded too that following Jesus is about following our fellow believers but also to go out into the world in order to share God.  We need to have that kind of relationship to the world.




If you are looking for a powerful book that will encourage you to grow closer in Christ then I highly recommend Unburdened.



I give this book five out of five stars....



Happy Reading!
