Cynthia Heald has written a different sort of devotional book which offers us an intimate guide to becoming like Jesus. “In each lesson, you will consider how Jesus lived on earth, how we can reflect him, what Scripture tells us, and how we can pray about what has been revealed to us.”

Heald focuses on “God’s purpose and process of transformation, as well as the most notable human qualities of Jesus that we have been either commanded or instructed to reflect in our lives.”

The six lesson subjects are-
God’s Master Plan
Beholding
Holy Obedience
The Humble Servant
Unconditional Love
Trusting God’s Plan

The intent of each lesson is to encourage the reader to pursue Christlikeness, draw in to Scripture, and reflect/discuss the lesson. This devotional is set up as a six-week Bible study for a small group but can also be read alone as a personal devotional.

Each chapter ends with an outline of (or a return to) God’s plan with scripture references and questions that allow the reader to go deeper within their own journey.

I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.

Every time, I struggle in my Christian life how to imitate Jesus. It sounds to hard to do for a regular Christian like me. How could we live close to being like Him, a perfect humanity. But, I believe that Scripture is true, that we possible to have a life like Jesus. Cynthia Heald's book will accompany us to run through this journey to become like Jesus.

We all have struggles and concerns in our lives that can make our progress slow in being more like Jesus. One of the biggest things that endures me to this book is Ms. Heald’s openness and transparency in sharing her own struggles to grow in Jesus. I like that she doesn’t come across like she’s perfect and her life is perfect. I learned and am growing from studying this book because God used someone on my level to teach me how to become more like Jesus.

I received an advanced reader copy from Tyndale House, NavPress and Netgalley.

Becoming like Jesus is a short devotional book by longtime Bible teacher Cynthia Heald. This book is light and easy to pick up for a short devotion. It has many quotes and not a ton of Scripture. I found this book to feel more like a journal of the author's personal journey in becoming like Jesus than a book to help someone learn to be more like Jesus. This isn't a book that I would recommend for deep, theological study. It seemed light and a bit trite.

Ths book was wonderful. It drew me closer to the Bible and I loved the prayers at the end of each week. It's a 6-week Bible study packed with biblical truth. Thoroughly enjoy. definitely will be telling people about it.
