This book was really intellectually and theologically researched and written, but super easy to read!

The Burden is Light by Jon Tyson is a call to follow Jesus. Without the trappings of comparison or striving, we can simply follow Him deeply with our whole selves. This is a light burden to carry and it is the true calling of believers. This book is a wonderful book for both new and seasoned believers alike. It is a great reminder of what it really means to follow Jesus. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

Jon Tyson is a pastor in New York City and global spiritual influencer who has written a book to help stop believers to stop using the world's definitions of success and value, and to focus instead on what God thinks of believers. God's kingdom turns practically ecery aspect of the world values upside-down.

Tyson encourages readers to throw off worldly ways of comparison, competition, control and pride, to biblical values of calling, compassion, and humility. The more that we turn around how we think about ourselves and our lives, argues Tyson, we will also benefit by adopting God's viewpoint. An easy yet engaging read.
