Deeper: Real Change for Real Sinners (Union)

Product Information

Every Christian desires to become more like Christ. But if we are honest with ourselves, we often feel discouraged at our progress. So, how do we really change? Dane Ortlund, in his new book Deeper: Real Change for Real Sinners, argues that change is a matter of going deeper into the glorious riches of Christ and our identity in him. Ortlund’s book provides answers to the question: “What must happen in the individual human heart, most fundamentally, most deeply, for a man or woman to get traction and grow?” (173). job of being fun and entertaining almost perfectly. The book is told in first-person and I loved Joe, our narrator. He is constantly asking us questions to make us see Nine short but profound chapters draw deeply on Puritan literature and biblical teaching. They follow logically from each other, but he emphasises that ‘they are not sequential steps but rather open quite different facets of the one diamond of growth’. Deeper is like the second world. There are island, ocean, animals (old-time) also plants. And many more things else which related with science.....it's difficult for me to explain. The Battle Royale video game Fortnite was a phenomenal success for the esports industry, generating billions of dollars in revenue for the developer Epic Games. It also offered career pathways and opportunities for talented young people; from professional players to managers and agents, to content creators and casters.

And the special effects? Moore's descriptions are vague, ambiguous—that is to say, perfectly in keeping with Lovecraftian tradition, which only ensures that the reader's imagination does most of the heavy lifting and, well, are there any better special effects than those in an avid horror reader's mind? I would certainly hope not. Deeper is a rare book. It is applied theology. It is doctrine pressed on the heart. It is a book that enacts an approach to change rather than simply arguing for that approach. For all those reasons, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any sinners who long for real change. A third strength is Ortlund’s awareness of our (often unspoken) assumptions and objections. The thought I had time and time again is, ‘How does he know me so well?’ First off let me tell all who read this that I have never read a book for the fun of it. In fact the only time I ever read books is books is because of reports and projects, but Deeper and the whole Tunnels series is something different, way different! I stumbled on the books Tunnels and Deeper about two years ago at the book fair. I read about half of it and then it sat on my shelf for six months until six grade roled around and then I read it and was blown away, then I started in on Deeper. Be astonished at the gracious heart of Jesus Christ, proven in his atoning work in the past and his endless intercession in the present. Receive his unutterable love for sinners and suffers. Stop resisting. Let him draw near to you. Gaze upon him.Dalam perjalanan panjang menyusuri tempat antah berantah di bawah permukaan bumi, menghindari musuh dan tak tahu harus berekspektasi bagaimana, pengembangan karakter masing-masing tokohnya menjadi sangat penting agar cerita dapat dinikmati tanpa jatuh bosan. Dan itulah yang kurang dari Deeper - kurang dalam menggali emosi setiap tokohnya. Perubahan emosi-emosi mereka saat mengalami hal-hal yang menyedihkan sangat cepat (kecuali Elliott, tampak nyata). Mungkin perdebatan dalam benak masing-masing tokoh sehingga mereka bisa bertingkah begitu yang kurang didalami. Masih tidak habis pikir bagaimana Sarah dan Will bisa merubah kelakuan mereka secepat itu. Cal... yah, lagi-lagi, karena kurang dalamnya karakter tersebut digali, aku tak merasakan apapun saat pertama kali dia 'tak teraba' dalam gua. Several more characters are introduced in this novel, and two of which turn out to be my absolute favourite characters for the rest of the series. The main protagonists go through a lot of tough tests, too, and there are a few moments where you really wonder what will become of them. Their personalities become more defined with each book. Drawing on wisdom from figures throughout church history, Ortlund encourages readers to fix their gaze on Jesus in the battle against sin, casting themselves upon his grace and living out their invincible identity in Christ. Unfortunately, the author just doesn’t do much with it. The book is poorly written. He constantly tells what is happening, but he never shows what is happening. As a result, the book never seemed to connect with me.

Chapter 4, Embrace: “The love of God is not something to see once and believe and then move beyond to other truths or strategies for growing in Christ. The love of God is what we feed on our whole lives long, wading ever more deeply into this endless ocean. And that feeding, that wading, is itself what fosters growth. We grow in Christ no further than we enjoy his embrace of us.” (70) I can not give high enough praise for the writing in this book--I only hope that someday we see the release of a sequel....or at least a return to some of the characters. I rated the book a three because it's lengthy and mostly uninteresting with only a few parts worth reading. The ending was unsurprising and abrupt, the characters were unsociable and there were no personal connections to be made with the story. The book was confusing and makes little sense if you haven't read the first, and seems like a continuation for other books in the trilogy. Unless you enjoy the first book or the author, I don't recommend the book to casual readers. After his brother's death, Will is beside himself with grief, and Chester becomes increasingly concerned about the strange way he is acting. Shortly thereafter, they witness the execution of a group of Coprolites by a patrol of Styx Limiters. Will's abnormal behavior takes over again, and he asks for a piece of chewing gum. Before he unwraps it, knives are put at both boys' throats. A man speaks, telling them to bury the gum, and then to come with them. With no alternative but to do what they are told, Will and Chester comply with these demands.An illustrated graphic novel perfect for the entire family, this story is a modern-day The Little Prince. The Boy… is mandatory reading for humanity. Plus, cake. And now along comes the talented and prolific James Moore to catch us up on what ever happened to that dreaded and fishy town of Innsmouth. It's really fine plot, fun atmosphere of underground and evil religious cult that wants to control and invade the aboveground, curious scientist who discover strange writings on the walls of the very deep underground in Hieroglyphic old Greek letters. crazy critters down there you have basically read Deeper, but that is like me saying if you have read one zombie novel you have read them all. The closest novel to this

Anne Fish, mother of Benjy “benjyfishy” Fish, and Johnny Troset Andersen, father of Martin “MrSavage” Foss Andersen, were plunged into the world of esports when their sons transitioned from gaming enthusiasts to becoming pro-Fortnite players and duo partners. They soon found themselves signing contracts with esports organisations, and providing all the administrative and technical support it takes to manage a player and their business. This book is for the frustrated. The exhausted. Those on the brink. Those on the verge of giving up any real progress in their Christian growth.”

Undersea horrors with a little Lovecraft seasoning is what I got out of this novel. While I was looking for a good B-Creature Feature read, what I got was a little bit more. I say a little bit, because this tale focuses in on one man, a simple sailor who gets caught up in a web of danger that um...some folk would have seen coming a mile away. This is not a deep, introspective read and the main character is not the brightest bulb, yet, I still kinda felt for him. Sure taking a charter out to waters with notoriously bad rumors surrounding them, mysterious passengers keeping too many secrets and any aquatic life with close resemblances to humanoid structures are all bad ideas, but the main character is a hearty one, one of those New England types that brave the Goliath of the sea and laugh at its fury and bloodshed. If you are a Christian, God made you so that he could love you. His embrace of you is the point of your life… He wants you to know a love that is yours even when you feel undeserving or numb.” With a firm grasp of the craft, Moore gathers Lovecraft's legacy into his capable hands and makes it his own by adding a few new touches to the Innsmouth cycle- including a genius turn at giving the man-fish creatures the ability to communicate through images and sensations. There is tension aplenty within the plot between Joe and his immature shipmate, a zealous scientist, and a pair of television parapsychologist out to prove the cove haunted by more than Lovecraft's fishy men. The diving research is solid; the descriptive passages will freeze you to the bone; and the end will grab you by the throat. Moore manages to even inject of a bit of action movie esthetic into DEEPER, something that no other Lovecraft story has been able to do since Lumley's first Titus Crow adventures.

Dr. Burrows comes across a temple-like structure, built by a civilization that worships a sun. He discovers a hoard of large dust mites and then comes across a huge, mile-long hole, which he accidentally falls into. God himself has come to us with a justification of his own doing. It is the atoning verdict of Jesus Christ. We can only receive it. To add to it is therefore to subtract from it. We simply breathe it in with a heart posture of trusting faith. And thereby God justifies us— God himself. Our okay-ness, our record, our identity, our significance, are no longer in our hands, not even a little.”Then I came across James A. Moore's Deeper in my local bookshop and got exactly what Gordon failed to produce. In fact, the narrator is worth highlighting. In Joe Bierden, Moore has created a likeable, friendly story teller and protagonist with a distinct yet wholly unobtrusive voice. There is no overwriting here, because a drinking buddy recounting a serious, intimate story does not overwrite—and that's essentially Joe’s role here. DEEPER is visceral in a way today's young adult genre isn't. If you like happy endings or beautiful fantastic worlds this is NOT the book for you. The TUNNELS series in general is probably one of the most realistic and grim YA universes out there. And if you think of not reading it because it is YA, fear not. The numerous sins of the genre are nowhere to be found. They met two rebels Darek and Elliot who tell them how the Styxs are mass killing the Deep’s residents for unknowing reasons. Beside , of course, hunting and killing the rebels. The commands of the Bible are the steering wheel, not the engine, to your growth. They are vitally instructive, but they do not themselves give you the power you need to obey the instruction.”
