A sign of a great book of theology is whether its truth cuts you deep, so deep that you are inconvenienced enough to stop and pray. More than once, I put down this book mid-sentence in awe of all the beauty Christ has given me to behold. Sadly, we live in a Christian culture that has varnished the beauty of our Lord, either by its sentimentality or its divergence from orthodoxy. Too often looking at Jesus is like looking at a mirror at ourselves. But @samuel_parkison clears away the uglification caked over our eyes like mud, equipping us with just the right pair of lenses so that we can see the radiance of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Parkison is like a modern-day Boethius, using the prose of poetry to make Christology shimmer as it should. Read this book! Like Mary you will cling to Jesus. My @CredoMagazine Book of the Week
