Jesus Life (Slightly Imperfect)

Endorsements:          

“This book is a must-read for spiritual formation. Larry Smith clearly understands and articulates that sanctification is not simply about behavioral modification but spiritual transformation. In a world where so many of our leaders are failing due to a lack of char­acter and integrity, the upward, inward and outward model gives us a Christ-centered blueprint for becoming and remaining faithful to the call our Lord Jesus Christ gave us to follow Him.”

“A must-read for every person who desires to be a true disciple of Christ; whether a seasoned church leader or a new believer, this book will teach, challenge and inspire. Most of all it will bring you back to the centrality of our existence—Jesus Christ. In a complicated and confusing world, Larry Smith shows the path back to the simple, yet profound, core of our faith, a life centered on Christ. This is a book to read over and over.”

“In this book, Pastor Larry Smith equips believers to experience the beauty of living with Jesus as the center of our daily lives. He demonstrates how that commitment strengthens and enhances our relationships with others and transforms our knowledge of ourselves. I love how he points out self-awareness as an important aspect of spir­itual maturity. Jesus Life is a must-read and will be a great resource for our leadership team.”

“Having served two decades in pastoral ministry, my friend Larry Smith gives us a refreshingly practical, theologically precise tool that will guide us to re-center our affections firmly in Christ. Jesus Life will aid us to view the essence of the gospel as the foundation for all life and ministry as it places Christ in vivid, high definition.”

“This is a must-read book for every believer who desires to be like Christ in all of life. Indeed there are so many things that seek to replace the position of Christ in our daily life. Larry Smith has written the very practical and profound truth that will help Christians across every culture to live a Christ-centered life.”

“Larry Smith has written a work that has been actually utilized and shaped in the crucible of real ministry, not in the ivory tower of theory. Any pastor, leader, or, disciple maker would benefit from this book and use it as a resource for their personal commitment to the Great Com­mission and spiritual formation. Please add it to your repertoire for becoming a more effective disciple and to make more disciples.”

“So many books on the Christian life reduce it to believing in a certain theology and submitting to a set of rules. The problem with this is that if theology and rules were all that sinners need, Jesus would have never had to come. God’s greatest and best gift to sinners is Him­self in the person and work of Jesus. Because this is true, the Chris­tian life is about knowing, loving, serving and worshiping Jesus. I am thankful that this book not only makes this clear, but unpacks exactly what it means to give yourself to a Jesus-centric way of living.”
