If this appeals to you, here are some other reasons why you might want to add Putting On Christ to your reading list.
A roadmap for your journey to spiritual rebirth
Putting On Christ is more than just a religious feel-good book—it’s designed to help change your life by giving you a true understanding of the Savior. Several reviewers have reaffirmed that the book doesn’t just teach you about Christ; it helps you to truly get to know him personally. Bishop points to this new reality and perfect knowledge by sharing the stories of nine people who have been born of God in our later or modern days. Chapter 8 alone highlights the experiences of seven of them.
According to Bishop, these stories of coming to know God through spiritual rebirth, “being born of the spirit,” are “on a par with many who have entered God’s presence through a near-death experience.” In either scenario, the reality of God will have been obtained with perfect knowledge and certainty, and thus people’s hearts will have been forever changed. Reading these accounts, along with the pertinent doctrine of Christ that will highlight the steps to obtain such an indescribable reality, will help the reader understand what that experience would feel like and what it would be like for themselves through obedience to this very doctrine.
What readers say about the book.
The consensus among readers is that a diligent study of this book can lead to a profound change of heart and perfect experiential knowledge as to the reality and divinity of the living Christ and His personal and individual (conditional) promise of eternal life. . The prophet Nephi in the Book of Mormon refers to this level of knowledge as a “perfect brightness.”
“This Christ-centered, doctrine-heavy, and scripturally backed material is not the kind of book you read quickly,” writes an Amazon reviewer. “It takes study, reflection, and digestion of these truths. It takes effort on our part to recognize where we are on this journey. Often the author shares something that touches my heart so hard that I almost cry from having such direct answers. This book is A great blessing!”
Another reviewer wrote, “I found a book that speaks (of) what I longed to find. It’s moving and heartbreaking. I found an understanding of where I am along the way and have woken up to my dire situation.” Now is the time to gird my loins working with patience and diligence looking for the only one who can save my unhappy soul.
