Critics Review

‘One of the powerful things about Matt’s book, and why you need to get it and read it, is the way he frames Christ’s response to the painful consequences of our bad decisions. The fact is that He runs toward us even when we fail.’ * Philip Anthony Mitchell, Founder and Lead Pastor of 2819 CHURCH *
‘The words on these pages and the Scripture laid out will encourage you in the valley, challenge you on the mountain, and leave you with a deep-rooted knowing that the way of Jesus is always, always worth it.’ * Ali Parsons, Host of the Neighbors with Ali Parson podcast *
‘This is the book the world so desperately needs right now. It offers a deeply refreshing vision of what it means to be spiritually formed in the messiness of real life. If you’re tired of chasing image and ready to be transformed by intimacy with Christ, Becoming Like Jesus will both challenge and comfort you.’ * Jonathan “JP” Pokluda, Lead Pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church, Bestselling Author, Host of Becoming Something *
‘This is the kind of book every Christian needs. Whether you’re just beginning your life in Christ or you’re a seasoned saint who has walked with Jesus for decades. It’s a book for right now, and one you’ll return to again later.’ * Joel Muddamalle, PhD, Director of Theology and Research at Proverbs 31 Ministries, Author of The Unseen Battle *
