Deeper

Real Change for Real Sinners

By: Dane Ortlund

Narrated by: Dane Ortlund

“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 3:18)

How do Christians grow? Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive.

In this audiobook, Dane Ortlund points believers to Christ, making the case that sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to him.

Drawing on wisdom from figures throughout church history, Ortlund encourages listeners to fix their gaze on Jesus in the battle against sin, casting themselves upon his grace and living out their invincible identity in Christ.

Life-changing and a must-read for Christians

This book, though very deep, is actually foundational and should precede all other books on growth. What so many miss is that they start with a book on fasting or prayer or some other essential spiritual discipline but they miss the foundations of grace and looking at Christ. Thus the disciplines end up not bringing forth heart change. That is what this book is about: Heart change in light of looking and beholding the savior. Read this book carefully and slowly. I just finished it, going through it again now.

Tenderness and lovely

This book draws one into a deeper understanding and greater desire to belong solely to Christ Jesus.

Further up and further in!

This is one of the best books I’ve read on growing in Christ. Dane explains the basic truths of knowing Jesus in such a simple, straightforward, beautiful way; I have been challenged, encouraged and equipped in growing deeper into Jesus.

Revive us I lord

Another book in the series that causes back to a historical recognition of the great person and love of Christ for real sinners today . A call 2 embrace what is already been given, and promised to us in Jesus through his spirit. Rise up of men and women of God, and walk in the power, and the faith to which we have been called in this book it is another lamp to light the way.

Don’t rush this book

Don’t rush this book. It is like a slow walk with Jesus, contemplating various ways He uses the simple “elementary principles” to woo us into deeper love for him. Read it slowly. Read it with Him and with others.
