This is an excellent guidebook to the book of Ephesians. Read the Word, study it, and then use this to help bring sense to some of your questions. Gloria Furman does an excellent job of writing about deep theological truths in a way that is understandable and helpful. She uses scripture to interpret scripture and uses real-life stories to help explain the text.

Theologically rich while also being practical to the daily life of obedience to Christ, Gloria Furman uses her own life experiences and relatable illustrations to illuminate the glory of God in the book of Ephesians. I read this as a companion guide as I studied Ephesians, and this book helped me gain a comprehensive understanding of the central message of the book as I dove into the details on my own. Wholeheartedly recommend!

This is a book I would prefer to have in my hands rather than listen to, so I'm going to wait until I can get a physical copy.

Ephesians is one of my favourite books of the Bible, so I really appreciated Furman's approach to this gem hidden in the New Testament. "Alive in Him" is a thematic study of Ephesians. Instead of plodding through verse-by-verse, Furman takes one chunk at a time and goes through it's topic, and it's theme. Her subtitle - how being embraced by the love of Christ changes everything - is well suited to this book, and really brings to light the magnificent work Jesus did on the cross. This is a lovely new book for devotion times or quiet times, while working through the book of Ephesians.
I received this book very graciously from the publisher in return for my fair and honest review.

Gloria Furman has amazing knowledge of the Bible. I am always in awe of the beautifully crafted sentences she writes in her books. I must admit, however, they often go above my head and I find myself having to re-read passages several times before I completely comprehend what she is trying to convey. Her study of Ephesians was not a verse-by-verse study, but rather a thematic study of the text. I enjoyed the study and learned a lot from her teachings. I will continue to pick up her books in the future, but just know going in, her books are meant to be savored, not plowed through.
