Dug Down Deep: Unearthing What I Believe and Why It Matters by Joshua Harris
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Josh Harris made a name for himself quite a few years ago when he wrote his book “I Kissed Dating Goodbye”. “Dug Down Deep” gives us his story both before and after he wrote that book. It is both an interesting biography as well as a new manner of presenting basic theology. It is a very good approach. I was pleased to read it.Harris describes his carelessness in his life, his conversion, his pride, his humiliation, and the blessings that Christ used to bring him to where he is now. Harris is very open and transparent about his own mistakes. He is also truthful about what it took his mentors, friends, and family doing in his life to help him grow in the Lord. These are very useful things to know. Most of us will go through similar circumstances. It is a good thing to know that we are not alone.Harris grew up in a good, conservative environment only to rebel against much of it. He speaks of some of the shallowness he encountered in churches as well as some of the legalism. His story is the story of a man who had to find that the Scriptures are permeated with Christ above all else.As Josh Harris writes his story he brings in various theological concepts so that the reader is getting a doctrinal education while reading Josh’s story. I greatly appreciate his focus on doctrine as well as how he wrote the book. From the Bible to sanctification, to the uniqueness of Christ and more, Harris takes us on a theological and biographical journey that the reader will not soon forget.
Buy this book on Amazon or from the publisher.
