Untamed

Untamed by Lisa Harper is an interesting mix of in-depth theology, a conversational writing style, and inspiring life applications. The author clears away a lot of misconceptions regarding our Savior as she walks through various scenes of the four Gospels, narrating them in modern language and explaining the historical significance and controversy behind Christ's actions. She offers a glimpse of a Savior who is wild, controversial, compelling, and compassionate.

Though the writing itself is overly simple and rarely eloquent, Harper's message is significant enough to make readers look past the poor writing style.

If you want to learn more about Christ's earthly ministry and how it applies to our daily pursuit of Him, this is definitely a book you'll want to read.

WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group provided this book to me for free in exchange for this honest review as part of their Blogging for Books program.
