The Revive Our Hearts Trilogy is absolutely one of the best books you can get your hands on! It is three separate books printed together in one volume. I quickly discovered why: you can't read one without reading all three.
I first read "Surrender" a year ago, and was overwhelmed by the incredible truths Ms. DeMoss so graciously but fervently presents. It did my heart a world of good to see my sin again for how filthy it is, and to see the Cross in all its glory, resulting in true surrender.
Next I read "Brokenness"and was equally mortified by my sinfulness and pride unveiled through her heart-piercing words. How quickly I fall ("prone to wonder, Lord I feel it") and need a gentle yet strong reminder of where my position in Christ should be--at His feet.
As I said, you can't read one without the other, so "Holiness" quickly followed suite. Hmm, isn't that the way it should be? A surrendered, broken life should always lead to a holy life. Sadly, that isn't always the case (or even often the case). I believe Ms. DeMoss does an example job pointing out our failures in this area of holiness as a Church, and as individuals, without becoming critical, legalistic, or arrogant. Rather, as a fellow sinner but striver for holiness, she encourages believers to live a life in Christ--imitating Him and His holy nature.
Whether you find yourself skimming the pages of one or all three of these books, don't pass it up!
I actually didn't receive a free copy of this book from a publisher. This is on loan from a friend, and yep, you guessed it--now I want my own copy.
