Summary

In this abbreviated book, Dane Ortlund (Presbyterian pastor in Naperville, IL), explains how those united to Jesus Christ do not need to look anywhere but to Christ himself for growth in godliness. Ortlund says that believers change by going deeper into the same truths that saved us in the first place. With counsel from historical Christian figures, Ortlund shows how to get traction in our spiritual walk, and live out our identity in Christ with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Deeper: Real Change for Real Sinners

In this book, Dane Ortlund (pastor in the Chicago area) points believers to Christ, making the case that sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into gospel truths. Drawing on wisdom from church leaders throughout church history, Ortlund encourages readers to fix their gaze on Jesus in the battle against sin, by casting themselves upon his grace and living out their identity in Christ.
