This was a decent read. I am a little newer in my journey but I just didn’t care as much for the writing style/presentation of the information. More of a personal preference, not saying the content is incorrect or not good. Just not really my style. I appreciate the things I did learn from this read though. I appreciate the complimentary copy to read for a review!

Anchored in Jesus by Johnny Hunt is a great book for any Christian looking to deepen the relationship with Jesus.

The books description says:
Anchored in Jesus explores what it means to have a living relationship with Christ—and how that is the key to growing strong as a believer. As you explore who Jesus is and what He has done for you, the Lord will work in your life so that you reflect His character more and more. You “bear much fruit” when you live closely to Jesus and exhibit the same kind of love, joy, peace, patience, faithfulness, and self-control He modeled.

This book has helped me to fix my eyes on Jesus. I recommend this book be in every Church library especially for those who are newer in their faith.

Author, Johnny Hunt had some good points about how to stay anchored in Jesus, but I felt a good majority of all that he talked about, I already knew. This book is a good for someone who is beginning in their walk with God and wanting to know more about staying anchored in their faith in Him.

I graciously received an advance e-copy from netgalley for a review. All opinions are my own.

"Anchored in Jesus" by Johnny Hunt teaches us to hold on to truth in a drifting world. It shows us how to have a living relationship with Christ - the key to growing strong in faith as believers. Jesus calls us to trust and draw near to Him. He wants us to know Him and be known by Him. As we study the character of Jesus and what He accomplished on the cross for us, He enables us to reflect His image more closely and bear the fruits of the Spirit. As we anchor ourselves in Jesus, He transforms us into His likeness. I highly recommend this inspiring book for all believers who desire to draw close to Jesus and be conformed into His image.

A Few Good Points. A Few Troubling Ones. Standard Johnny Hunt. Full disclosure up front: I've been in a few crowds Johnny Hunt has preached to, and some relatives have been members of First Baptist Woodstock, where he preaches. So I know most of Johnny's story, what he believes, and his style. And this book is effectively sitting through a month or two of his sermons - each chapter tends to sound nearly identical to a given weekly sermon, in at least two instances complete with the Sinner's Prayer. And that is why I can't rate this book any higher, yet also don't feel comfortable rating it any lower. Conservative American Evangelical Christians will likely hit this book with 5*, the further away you are from that group, the lower your rating will likely be. Overall he does in fact make some solid points, he just does it in the lazy country preacher style I've known him to employ for the last 20 yrs - which works well in a region that 20 yrs ago still composed a fair amount of farmland, despite being in the middle of Metro Atlanta's northward surge. Recommended, just do your own research any time he makes a claim.
