This was a much different book than I am used to reading on this subject. Most authors I read about change would use a little bit larger words to explain change in a person’s life. For instance, in the Bible when we see a word like sanctification we know it means change. I wish Sayers would have used a larger vocabulary. The vertical Self was a good read. It was simple and yet convicting. Mark Sayers went into great detail to explain the way our culture views specific terms such as “cool” and “sexy” and how they have changed over the years. He also writes about what God intended us to look like, what we look like and what we will look like. The thing I like most about the book is that he continued to remind the reader that it’s not about what the people around us think. Instead we, as believers, should continue to pursue change in our walk with Christ in such a way that we do not set ourselves apart from the world, but that we are set apart unto righteousness. Overall, I thought it was a good read. I would definitely suggest this book to a teenager, but not to an adult.
I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com
