As someone who struggles with a "performance based mindset" and always evaluating my self-worth based upon my completion of tasks, this book was a much needed breathe of fresh air. It is nice to be reminded that it is not about performance but about the finished work of Christ on our behalf.

Joy is often something I chase from many things outside of Christ and this book helped me to remember that my joy comes from Christ and Christ alone. The chapter on God's approval was extremely helpful. Reminding me from Galatians that I am rooted and grounded in Christ.

I would recommend this book for anyone struggling to enjoy the life of being a follower of Christ. It certainly helped me to see more clearly.
