Bone of His Bone

I've read this little book several times over the years, and each reading warms my heart and challenges my mind. I would heartily recommend this to any Christian. It will undoubtedly sharpen your thinking.

F.J. Huegel makes his case very clear, through his own life examples and through the Scriptures - we are "participants" in the Life of Christ, from his death, resurrection, and ascension into the heavenly places. We reckon ourselves to be dead unto sin and alive to God through Jesus Christ, he affirms through the Scriptures, and through faith, the application of these truths become as real as breathing. It's as if the Spirit of God has breathed His life through this author. Highly recommended!!

Bone of His Bone focuses on the great spiritual battle that takes place when a Christian takes seriously the authority in Christ.Among the important points Huegel cover includes:1. Instead of imitating Christ, we are to let Christ live His life through us in His power.2. God must have our consent before He will work in our lives.3. Being alone with God is worth much more than constantly being around others.4. The amount of the divine life we experience depends on how much we let Jesus have His way with us.5. Victory in our life is only achieved by death to self.6. The devil uses many strategies to discourage and mislead us.7. How to overcome the devil's strategy.8. We will also be involved in Christ's Second Coming.Read and be encouraged to abide more deeply in Christ!

I had to read this book for my class "Spiritual Formation" at Luther Rice Seminary. Although I was a Christian for many years, this book really opened my eyes, and I think brought me up a few levels in my spiritual understanding. It goes into the Nth degree about understanding our relationship in Christ. It really puts the "spirituality" into Christianity. Some churches are dead spiritually. Some have gone off the deep end in chasing, what they think, is the Holy Spirit. What's the correct spiritual understanding for Christians? I think this book shows it quite clearly... real spirituality without the wackiness. I recommend this book to even "mature" Christians. For those who think they've seen it all, I'll bet they still learn from this one. It goes right to the heart, and it will make you love and live in our Lord much more deeply.

This book has been around for 60+ years a classic! Know your idenity in Christ. It is on my top ten favorite book list. Check them out. all are winners. feel free to email me.
