Jesus: Pure & Simple, Wayne Corderio (Book Review)
What a great read. From the first page, I was challenged, inspired, and driven till the very end. This book stimulated my desire to follow Jesus more wholeheartedly and richly, and I think that most readers will have the same reaction.
There were so many notes to highlight in this book; so many thoughtful quotes to remember. Here are some I've copied out:
"Because God created you in His image, the more you become like Jesus, the more you become the person you were created to be. It is in Him that you actually find fulfilment, not in religious activities (as good as they may be) or in serene settings that give you a needed respite from your harried workplace. He is not the rest from our labors. He is the rest in our labors."
"Jesus did not come to complicate the gospel; He came to simplify it without compromising its purity."
Every new chapter had something that touched me. I highly recommend if you are in need of some refreshment and push closer to Jesus. Add this one to your reading list.

Wayne Cordeiro's Jesus: Pure and Simple centres on one thing--Jesus. He is the beginning and the end. I really appreciated this refreshingly simple view. Focus on Jesus and Jesus alone is difficult in a world of self and other commitments, but it doesn't have to be, and this book brought that simplicity to light.
