So much of our life is trying to figure out our identity. What’s my purpose? How am I different? Do I matter?
We are all born with a void that we seek to fill and understand. For some, that journey may take a lifetime. For others, much shorter.
The understanding is that instead of asking “Who am I?”, we come to realize the question is actually, “Whose am I?”
When I read the information about Chosen for Christ, I was hopeful it would be a book that was going to aide in both my personal journey as well as become a go-to recommendation for my therapy clients.
I’m so thrilled to say that it exceeded my expectations!
About the Author
Heather Holleman,
Chosen for Christ: Book Structure
Heather writes with both Biblical authority and a personal touch. In reading Chosen for Christ, you feel like you have connected with a friend that is excited to teach you how to live the life you were designed to live.
The book addresses seven Biblical invitations that show us how we are chosen for Christ and live each day from that perspective.
- Worship
- Live as God’s Treasured Possession
- Belong to a New Family
- Complete Good Works
- Display God’s Power
- Become Like Jesus
- Live Differently from the World
At the end of each chapter, Heather provides a “Your Next Step” section that recommends a passage or two of scripture and then walks you through four questions. These are important self-reflection questions that I highly recommend you take the time to write out and contemplate.
Final Thoughts on Chosen for Christ
I’m so excited when I find a book that I want can’t wait to share with others. Chosen for Christ is currently that book!
Heather does a magnificent job of revealing and explaining Biblical truths in an easily understood and accessible way. And at the same time, the book doesn’t feel simplistic.
I found myself having to purposefully slowdown so I could ensure I was taking adequate time to digest and reflect on each chapter.
Chosen for Christ is a wonderful book for Christians new to faith as well as women who have walked with Christ all their lives. No matter your current space in your faith journey, you will go deeper in your relationship with Jesus in reading this book.
