What's it about?
This is a well titled book. It has four parts and eleven chapters in all. The four parts cover Who Christ Is, What We Need, What Christ Has Done and How to Respond. Stott looks at what the Bible has to say about what it means to be a follower of Christ. He explains why Jesus had to die on the cross, and why the evidence for the resurrection stands up to scrutiny. This isn't a book that you can just read, absorb and move on. It is not possible to leave without making some sort of decision about Jesus, even if it isn't an obvious choice.
What was good?
It isn't a hard book to read. I've been reading on the train and I've had no problem breaking off and picking up again. With only 182 pages it won't take long to read (eleven days if you take a chapter a day). If you do read it quick I would try and make some time for processing what you're reading, it isn't a light subject.
What was bad?
Not much... I wasn't that keen on the cover...
Who is for?
For anyone who is curious about what Christianity is about, or Christians who want a reminder.
