The New Birth: Going Onto Perfection

I am by no means a biblical scholar although I have studied the Bible a good bit over the years and I will confess that, after reviewing the table of contents of Nadine Richmond’s book The New Birth: Going Onto Perfection, I approached it with some uncertainty about how much I might comprehend. Being a student of History, in the past I have tended to focus more on biblical history, which I find fascinating, than on theological concepts such as atonement and grace. But I was pleasantly surprised! Mrs. Richmond’s book was a revelation. She has the ability to clearly communicate abstract religious ideas that can be confusing to a lay person such as myself. I have probably grown more in understanding scripture by reading her book than by any other. I believe this is because I felt the inclination not just to read the book but to actually study it and ponder over the explanations she offered. Mrs. Richmond is a gifted writer who makes you feel she knows your heart and is speaking directly to you. I strongly recommend this book to anyone, whether Christian or non-Christian, who feels called to claim the peace that passes all understanding through a relationship with Christ.

THE NEW BIRTH was an easy read that helped me with my Christian faith. I thoroughly enjoyed the passages and was pleased that all comments were backed up with verses from the Bible. If anyone is struggling or just has become lax in the Christian faith, THE NEW BIRTH will help bring the reader back to Jesus.
