For those seeking new ways to draw closer to Christ and truly know him, a new book offers a perspective from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the journey to God through spiritual rebirth.

Putting on Christ, by author Steven Anthony Bishop, is designed to inspire those who are zealous seekers of truth. And for a limited time, KSL.com readers can get a free e-book version.

“For the true seeker and truth-seeker, Putting On Christ can prove to be a valuable guide for traveling the straight and narrow path that leads to knowing God on the same level as if we had seen Him,” says Bishop.

“When we attain this knowledge, we will have been healed and cleansed by Christ Himself from our sins, vices and spiritual wounds.”

If that sounds like you, here are a few more reasons why you might want to add Putting on Christ to your reading list.

A roadmap for your journey to spiritual rebirth

Putting on Christ is more than just a feel-good religious book—it’s designed to help you change your life by letting you really know the Savior. Several reviewers have confirmed that the book not only teaches you about Christ, but helps you really know Him personally. Bishop points to this new reality and perfect knowledge by telling the stories of nine people born of God in our day. Chapter 8 alone highlights the experiences of seven of them.

According to Bishop, these stories of knowing God through spiritual rebirth, or “birth of the Spirit,” are “on a par with many who have come into God’s presence through a near-death experience.” In both cases, God’s reality is attained with perfect knowledge and certainty, and people’s hearts are forever changed as a result. Reading these accounts—along with relevant Christ’s teaching, which highlights the steps to attaining such an indescribable reality—will help the reader understand what this experience might feel like for themselves and what it might be like if they obey that teaching.

What readers say about the book

Readers agree that a careful study of this book can lead to a profound change of heart and a complete, experiential knowledge of the reality and divinity of the living Christ and His (conditional) promise of eternal life to us personally and individually. The prophet Nephi in the Book of Mormon refers to this level of knowledge as “perfect brightness.”

“This doctrine-filled, scripture-backed, Christ-centered material is not the kind of book you read quickly,” writes one Amazon reviewer. “These truths must be studied, pondered, and processed. It takes effort on our part to recognize where we are on this journey. Often the author shares something that touches my heart so deeply that I almost cry because I get such direct answers. This book is a huge blessing!”

Another reviewer wrote, “I have found a book that speaks to what I have been searching for for so long. It is poignant and heartbreaking. I have understood where I am on the path and have become aware of my terrible situation. Now it is time to gird up my loins and search with patience and diligence for the only One who can save my miserable soul.”

A recent reviewer on Amazon wrote, “The instructions on how to fill your lamps with oil and come to Christ and be saved are actually found in the scriptures, but having some help to see them is priceless! This book contains the God-inspired instructions along with real life experiences, not only from the author, but from many others. It is extremely well written, very thorough, and is backed up by solid teachings from scripture and quotes from apostles and prophets of our day. An absolute must-have for anyone who is serious about drawing closer to God, receiving a true forgiveness of sins, and being made spotless by the power of Christ Himself.”
