This book is a very simple book on wonder. It is not intellectually rich like Winter’s book, and it is not a beautiful poetic masterpiece like Weight of Glory or Manalive — it is just a good, solid, straight-shooting book talking about some problems Christians can have after a while, where life just seems to always be the same old thing with no magic or sparkle, and some ideas on how to get wonder back, viz. by being grateful, immersing ourself in Christ’s love, and partaking in some spiritual disciplines.

Zacharias‘ writing style is very good and pious, and the stories he shares exude love for Christ, which was very nice and uplifiting in an ordinary sweet sort of way. However, I was hoping for content that was a little more magical, with longing and wonder encased in poetic phrasing and literary suspense. Perhaps Zacharias’ gift is more along the lines of straightforward prose — I don’t know, as this is the first Ravi book I’ve read — just make sure you read this book for what it is, and enjoy it where it’s good.
