The title, 52 Amazing Things that Became True of You the Moment You Trusted Christ, tells you everything you need to know about what you’ll find inside this book. I started my day with one or two of these truths each morning for over a month to jump start my day. Each one is short and includes a Bible verse as well as a brief message, so it is really great for those who would like to read one during a daily break.

Overall, I liked the idea behind the book of gathering together all these things for those who aren’t yet Christian, and as reminders for those who are. I’ve written all 52 down, so I can easily look at them whenever I need a reminder.

52 awesome awe-inspiring amazing promises that become true when Jesus comes into your life.
52 things such as You Are an Heir to God's Glory (Romans 8:17) and You Were Joined to the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:17). This verse is then followed by an encouraging reading to help you accept the fact.
I was given this book by Netgalley and the publisher. This is my voluntary and impartial review.

We need to be reminded of what the Bible says is true of us when we accept Christ as our Savior. Our identity in Christ is who we really are. That reality gets lost in everyday life.

Kuhn has written 52 devotionals, reminding us what God says is true of us. Each devotional includes a Bible verse and Kuhn's comments. It is not a scholarly work. Kuhn uses examples from his own life and movies, such as Harry Potter, to illustrate his teaching. He covers topics like being forgiven, right with God, a new creation, blessed with every spiritual blessing, adopted, and much more.

While most of the book is good solid biblical teaching, I did find a few aspects of it that troubled me.

Kuhn uses several verses from the Old Testament, such as Jeremiah 31:3 (you are loved) and Deuteronomy 31:8 (God will never abandon you). Those were promises to the Israelites. Can they be legitimately transferred to Christians? Also, John 15:5 is used to show we are friends of Jesus. But that verse describes the disciples. Can that description be honestly transferred to Christians today? I would have preferred verses be used that were specific to believers in Christ.

There is a concept Kuhn gives that I have not heard before. Regarding being seated in the heavenlies, he says, our soul, the truest part of us, is already seated in heaven, no longer here on earth. When we die and get our new body, our physical and spiritual realities will then merge together for the rest of eternity. (938/1645, chapter 28) Kuhn takes comfort that his soul is already in heaven. My soul still battles temptations and sometimes sins. I don't think it is in heaven. I think there is a more traditional and satisfying explanation to Ephesians 2:6 that emphasizes the already and not yet aspect of what is true of us in Christ.

Kuhn found that meditating on the truths he has included in this book were transformational for him. He hopes that the same will be true for his readers.

I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.

52 Amazing Things That Became True of You the Moment You Trusted God by Stephen Kuhn is a book published today by FaithWords that will help you to develop your relationship with God ad Jesus Christ.

The author remarks that when we were born we were born with the original sin because we were in Adam, although it's indispensable to think differently: we are in Christ now and Christ choose us personally orchestrating our life, helping us in moment of needs.


In these 52 inspirational, profound reflections you will find all the best resource for feeling that Christ is close to you and He is helping you in every moment of your life. You can use this book when you feel the necessity and when you search for some answer and you want to feel Christ more close to you.

The author closes the book with this quote by Brennan Manning:

Define yourself radically as one
beloved by God.
This is the true self. Every other
identity is illusion



I thank NetGalley and FaithWords for this book.
