Stuff That Matters In Life

This book is very popular, but I have to say, I didn’t love it. It’s probably because I am not the intended audience for this book. The focus is on being more sold out to Christ in response to His love for us. While that is always a good reminder, it’s not where I am in my life where I need to hear that.

There is one thing I didn’t like about the book. Chan says, “My fear in writing the previous chapter [Serving leftovers to a holy God]  is that it only evokes in you fear and guilt.” (pg 101) No matter how much he says that we should act out of love, not guilt, the fact is, when he points out all the things we should do and are not doing, of course the reaction is guilt. I wish he wrote more about God’s love and genuine salvation.
