Max Lucado: Outlive your live

To me, this is just another masterpiece from Max Lucado. I've enjoyed just about every Lucado book that I've read, so I'll readily admit that I came in with a bias. However, Out Live Your Life did not disappoint me. Each of the 16 chapters reads almost like a devotional with a section written by Lucado and ending with a scripture reading and a prayer. Lucado talks about how God has used ordinary men throughout time to do extraordinary things and then leads the reader through the process of discovering their own path to extraordinary - prayer, relationships, service, and humility to name a few.

Sarah Young: Jesus Calling

Jesus Calling is a view into Sarah Youngs personal travel with Jesus. Over the years she's been writing down in a journal what she feels Jesus wishes to say to her. For some this might seem like a simple book. But for me this was God talking to me through the pages of the book.
Jesus has such a wonderfully gentle and loving way of speaking, and Sarah Young has captured His essence in this book.

I felt His presence while experiencing His words from one page to the next.

Now available in this keepsake leather deluxe edition, missionary Sarah Young brings this uniquely inspired treasures from heaven for every day of the year!

I can warmly recommend this their daily devotional.

It grows on you - short review of "The vertical Self"

The short description of Mark Sayers’s: The Vertical Self is that it is about finding value and worth not in comparing and judging others but in our relationship with God. This is accomplished by finding our "vertical self" (our value in God) instead of our "horizontal self" (value from others).

The book grew on me. In the beginning I was a little bit put off by the assumption that in the Good old days everything was better. The grass was greener and the sky more blue. And everyone got their values from God. I don't think this is a correct description of the society we find in Europe in the middle ages. If people didn't do the things we do today it was only because the society was oppressive.

The problem with the vertical and the horizontal self is as old as humanity and not something only the current human population strugles with. But maybe the problem is more visible today because our societies values the personal freedom more.

The strength of the book is its emphasis on the importance of spiritual transformation and virtue ethics. The purpose of the book is to put emphasis on transformation of character as the greatest church building model. The book’s discussion of whether a person receives their Life and worth from peers or from God reminded me a lot of another book I'm reading by Dallas Willard (Renovation of the heart)

It is worth reading.

First blog

This is my first blog. Hopefully more will follow. A short introduction.

Why unfinished pilgrim? Pilgrim, because I'm on my way, not arrived yet. Pilmgrim, because I'm travelling from situation to situation.

Unfinished because the travel isn't always beautifull og done in a proper way.

So please join in on my ramblings about life.
