Embracing Obscurity: Becoming Nothing in Light of God’s Everything by Anonymous
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I loved the concept of this book. I think it’s a great message, not only for our society today, but for myself. Even those who don’t want recognition often seem to want to be rewarded in some way in this life. This book encourages us to make much of Christ, because He is worthy of all praise.
I feel like the book could have been less than half as long, though. And it’s not even close to being a long book! While it started off great, somewhere in the middle of the book, I lost interest because of its repetitive nature and sometimes unnecessary stories. I still finished it, because it was good enough that I was curious if the author would add any other support from Scripture, but I felt like this is one of those books where the title and subtitle pretty much says it all.
