I learned some good stuff from this book about the Atonement and learned a better perspective. Sometimes the writing style was a little bit too filler-ish for me and some chapters were more insightful than others. The author also used negative examples to illustrate some points. He says, "This is what so-and-so thinks, and it's wrong because of thus-and-such." It rubbed me the wrong way. Overall, it is a valuable read if you're hoping to gain a greater understanding of the Atonement.

i must have highlighted and annotated about 50 percent of this book. wilcox’s writings taught me some eternal truths i was sorely needing and i am grateful for his expansive, compassionate, and paradigm-shifting look at the atonement of Christ.

Full of cliches, but still a powerful message about the atonement.

This was the perfect book to read at Easter time. It gave me so many new insights that I had never considered about Christ and the Atonement before.

I found myself in tears many times while reading this book - not in sadness, but in joy. It is filled with hope, peace, and comfort to those who have committed grievous sins and those who have committed small ones; those who feel hurt, alone, or worthless; and those who just want to do a little better.

Brad Wilcox provides an amazing perspective on the power and beauty of the Atonement, and emphasizes over and over the love our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ have for each of us, no matter how insignificant we feel at times. He reinforces the concept of a continuous, unhindered, everlasting Atonement available to all of us, no matter how gravely we may sin or how many times, if we but allow it to change our hearts and our spirits.

I'm sure I'll find myself reading this many more times as I struggle, learn, and grow in life.

I didn't agree with every point ever in this book (for example, I think sometimes it's better to remember the mistakes of others so you can remember the lessons you learned, just like the author says it's better to remember our own sins), but overall, I'm a fan.

This book's title says it all. It is an examination of the Atonement, but not just how the Atonement can save us at the end of our lives, but how it is our very real source for strength, solace, forgiveness and power each and every day, as we struggle along, mired in sins we repeat all too often. I know many others who, like me, have become discouraged at our apparent and obvious lack of perfection, even after years of trying to live the Gospel. The truths in this book are like a balm. I'm afraid if I try to write all my favorite quotes here, I'll be engaging in copyright infringement. So I'll just include one--one that may be going on a wall in my home:
"When we speak of the human part of a covenant as something we can do without God's assistance, or the divine part of a covenant as something we can repay, we not only grossly overestimate our own abillities but we also see teh arrangement as a one-time deal. When we fully realize the continuous nature of the Atonement, gratitude and obedience are less a condition of receiving it and more a natural outgrowth of it. They become as continuous as the gift itself. In that moment, we realize we do not earn the Atonement. The Atonement actually earns us."
Beautiful book.

This is an easy-to-read, yet very insightful, little book about the Atonement and its power in our daily lives as we struggle with our weaknesses and sometimes get frustrated by what seems like continual repentance of the same sins. I really enjoyed this one.

Seems like a book more for the EFY crowd than the RS crowd, but good in it's simplicity, I guess.
