The Happy Christian – A Review
I try to be a positive Christian with a positive outlook on life. Generally speaking, I look on the bright side and press on in the Christian life with hopefulness because Christ is on the throne. But sometimes I fall into a rut of gloom, cynicism, and I think the cup is “half empty,” so to speak. From time to time I can identify with Christians who are always gloomy, pessimistic, and critical. The question is, how can we get out of the rut of gloom? We should want to, since the Christian faith is not one of gloom, doom, and extreme cynicism!

“Who Am I” by J. Bridges: A Review
Not My Review: Who Am I, by Jerry Bridges
If you are a follower of Jesus, what answers would you give to this question: “Who am I?” There are some that might first come to mind, such as “a child of God,” or “a Christian,” or maybe, “A disciple.” Or, perhaps on those bad days in life we might answer, “I don’t know!” or “I’m not really sure.” Since we still struggle with sin, sometimes Christians have deep questions about their identity. Wise counsel and help answering this question is needed!
Jerry Bridges wrote a little booklet to help God’s people answer this very important question: “Who am I?” In under 100 pages, Bridges gives Christians some biblical insight to consider when they ask questions about their identity. As with Bridges’ other books, this one is clear, straightforward, easy to understand, gospel centered, and full of biblical truth.
There are eight chapters; each gives a biblical answer to the…
