God's grand plan for
the redemption of creation has been in motion since before time began.
The book of Ephesians lays out this glorious vision, highlighting the
coming of Christ's kingdom on earth--a kingdom that will soon arrive in
full. In Alive in Him, Gloria Furman leads us deep into the biblical
text, exploring the book's main themes and showing us how the blessings
we have received in Christ empower us to walk in a new way. Designed to
be read alongside the book of Ephesians, Alive in Him draws us into the
plotline of Scripture, directing our gaze to the love of Jesus Christ--a
love that has the power to transform how we live.
Gloria Furman has amazing knowledge of the Bible. I am always in awe of the beautifully crafted sentences she writes in her books. I must admit, however, they often go above my head and I find myself having to re-read passages several times before I completely comprehend what she is trying to convey. Her study of Ephesians was not a verse-by-verse study, but rather a thematic study of the text. I enjoyed the study and learned a lot from her teachings. I will continue to pick up her books in the future, but just know going in, her books are meant to be savored, not plowed through.
