Dug Down Deep

I read a pretty good book recently, "Dug Down Deep," by Joshua Harris. Although it seems to be geared towards teens and young adults who have been raised in the church and have heard the Gospel their whole lives, anyone will benefit greatly from this book. He addresses those nagging questions like: if I'm a Christian why am I still struggling with sin, really, why did Jesus have to die such a cruel death, and what are the true ramifications of a proper understanding of the Gospel. In chapter 9 he deals with the Charismatic issues which many in the "New Reformed Movement" or "New Calvinists Movement" embrace to a certain degree, this will be interesting for my Charismatic Friends and family, Joshua says he does pray in tongues but does not believe in a second filling of the Holy Spirit but we all receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon conversion and may experience many fillings through out our lives which I would agree with. I also appreciate his honesty and his ability to communicate essential doctrinal and theological truths in way that wont make your eyes glaze over. This is a book that I will be getting my own teen and young adult children to read.
