Sometimes talking about Oswald Chambers’ books, I almost run out of glowing adjectives! Our Brilliant Heritage is no exception: it’s an outstanding book.

Technically it’s three books in one. Our Brilliant Heritage was combined with Grow Up Into Him and As He Walked to create one volume. As you may be able to figure out from the titles of the books, the message in this combined volume is encouraging disciples to look to Jesus in order to live out our brilliant heritage as Christians.

This material all came from lectures that Oswald Chambers delivered, which gives the book a conversational feel. The lectures are short, but packed with challenges that the student needs to spend time unpacking in their own life. Although I cannot verify this, it seemed to me that in these lectures Chambers asked more questions than usual, giving this book even more of an introspective feel.

If you are serious about taking your Christian walk deeper, you can never go wrong reading Oswald Chambers, and Our Brilliant Heritage is as good of a place to start as any!
