Fix Your Eyes sets the stage for our study and worship of God by expressing the need for both emotion and intellect in our worship and theology of God.

The book provides a treasury of truths about God and the Christian faith that gives both an overview and provides a wealth of info to help us study them greater depth. These truths will strengthen our worship of God and inspire us to meditate on the truths of His character.

The book's conversational, down-to-earth writing helps communicate theology in a simple to understand manner. Because of this, it would serve as an excellent resource introducing someone to the study of God (aka theology) at a level anyone could grasp.

It would be a great choice for teens, those new to the faith or theology as well as seasoned believers desiring to inspire their worship of God. It is truly a gem of a book for its content!

Notable Chapters:

• The Trinity chapter birthed in me a desire to search out this truth about God far more deeply.
• The Christology chapter beautifully expressed so many truths about Christ that are worth reading again and again.
• The Eschatology chapter brings such hope, making known how all things will be made new by our God.

Finally, one of my favorite quotes from the book epitomizes the author’s mission in providing a book connecting theology and worship:

“The point isn’t that you become the expert; the point is that his invitation to know him and his world is open to you…”

The only issues I had—which caused me to give the book 3 1/2 instead of 5 stars—were uncorrected errors that still appear in the final published version.

These issues were:

• uncorrected typos
• a left out “not” that completely changed a sentence about God
• subject-verb agreement mistakes
• a few sentence fragments that left you wondering what should follow in order for the sentence to make sense (like the beginning phrase of a sentence starting with “When…” yet with nothing after to conclude it).

Despite these issues, the content of this book is excellent and I still highly recommend it; hopefully they will get the typographical issues sorted with an updated version perhaps. Regardless it is a wonderful book especially for those new to the Christian faith or theology.

I received a review copy of this book for free from Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. All opinions are my own.… (plus d'informations)
