True Christianity is an all-out commitment and devotion to Jesus. The first commandment—to love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength—is not simply an invitation from God; it is a mandate placed on any person who calls himself a follower of Jesus. In this inspirational and thought-provoking book, Magnificent Obsession, Brian Kim explores what it means to lay down your life, love Jesus wholeheartedly, and follow Him with abandon. Kim uses the Scriptures as well as stories from his own life to discuss various themes, including: - The most important question: "Who do men say that I am?" - A wasted life: extravagant devotion for Jesus (Mary of Bethany) - Happy holiness: holiness redefined - The great exchange: all of Him for all of me
