A Comforting Book

The assurance of faith is needed by all true Christians, there are times in our lives when God can seem distant. As we go through a personal trial or tragedy, or even when facing death at the end of our life, these events in life can cause us to question our salvation

In this comforting book, Dan Cruver with refreshing vulnerability and honesty, opens up about his own struggles of assurance and how God met with him in his own personal tragedy. Focusing on the promises in Ephesians, the author applies it to us in our own struggles for assurance and helps us to see how these promises really are true for us.

The book itself consists of six chapters divided up into two main sections, part one focuses on us “Our battle and our strength” whilst part two focuses on Christ “Our foundations and our fortifications.”

There is great comfort to be found in knowing that many other Christians struggle with an ongoing and at times debilitating struggle to know whether we really loved by God. This is where the author helpfully reminds us through a deeper study of the promises of Scripture, that this battle can be won by holding on to these great truths that are true for us, but we need to know how to find these promises in Scripture and how to hold on to them.
