Dug Down Deep, Building Your Life on Truths That Last is my first encounter with Joshua Harris. I found his writing style to be very easy to read. He presents many of the basics of Christianity in an easy to digest manner. Intermixed with the tenants of Christianity, Harris tells stories of real people and how they came to faith and/or live out their faith.
Harris takes his readers through his own story of "going through the motions" of Christianity in his childhood to his realization of needing to know God personally. He shares stories of his family and friends which help the reader to see how the basics of the faith can be lived out.
He concludes with what he calls "Humble Orthodoxy" which I found to be a great reminder of how we are to live. It serves as a great reminder that while we have been given the greatest gift of all, we must be humble in our knowledge and sharing of that gift.
Overall, I thought this was a great book which served to remind me, as well as bring new light to all of the wonders of the gift given by God through His son Jesus Christ.
Very good review! I rated your review on the publisher's website, and I was wondering if you could rate some of mine? http://noahsreads.blogspot.com/2011/05/crisis-i-need-your-help.html
