The Liberty of Obedience

I love Elisabeth’s practical insight. Such Biblical wisdom. It is an intriguing journey to accompany her thought provoking questions theology and doctrine in a manner that deconstructs the man-made cultural inferences we’ve made about the word and invites the reader to step back and examine it for what it is really saying. Jots of her thoughts that really inspire and require depth of thinking. Though short this book is saturated in substance.

Elisabeth Elliott's books are amazing. They are not very long, but she doesn't need much to make her points. She has a way of writing that cuts through all the fluff surrounding modern day Christianity and gets to the heart. In this book, she asks if the things that we say identify a Christian are really what the Bible says. She shows how easily we get caught up in legalism and rules. It's an interesting book, which shows how much our culture permeates our faith.

the best hour i've ever spent reading a book! incredibly insightful. elliot asks great questions... what does it mean to be godly or worldly? how does a christian discern the will of God? for those of us who sometimes fall prey to legalism and merely "following the rules" of christianity, this is a must-read. short but very wise. i will read it again and again to remind myself.

The book impacted me in the following way: checking my motives as a Christian and challenging me to live to please and be motivated by God. It contained biblical insight into some difficult issues as to what it means to be a Christian. It is very short, but definitely worth the read.
