"The Person of the Word" shares the accumulated experiences and insight of John Brandon Murray, as he has pursued his Christian walk over the last 25 years. The book is provocative because it challenges several Christian traditional norms and mindsets that have been adopted by the modern day church. The purpose of the book is to motivate the dormant Christian unto action, growth and maturity by recognizing the power of the Word of God and the awesome opportunity that exists for those of us who have access to The Word to study and to know The Word for ourselves. Topics such as, "The Old man and the New Man", "God is always calculating", "Once saved, always saved?", "perfection and Imperfection", "The Tithe", and "God's Conditional Love" are all examined in relation to the Word. Some of these topics are controversial, but have been simplified in this book. What does the Word have to say about these topics and in particular, the New Testament Word of God? God wants his church to step up and to measure up to the full image of Christ. When you read, you will understand very clearly that there is no excuse to be living a sinful lifestyle and one that is contrary to the Word because we are not debtors to the flesh to live after the flesh, and the same powerful Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives within us, if we have been born again. In addition to this, we have the Word, who shows us what to die to, and what to live for. As a Christian, God has called you to be a conqueror, not a Coward, a Victor, not a victim. We have been called to Overcome, not to be overcome. The battles that we face in life, we fight not on our own, but with God who is also in us, and so we are expected to fight and to win. If you have been intrigued by what you have just read, then read "The Person of the word".
