Book review — Weakness Our Strength: Learning from Christ crucified

Weakness Our Strength: Learning from Christ crucified

With a commendation from Joni Eareckson Tada, backed up by Pablo Martinez, I was excited to read this book. There are all sorts of ways and different times when the believer knows their weakness.

John Hindley is almost writing a systematic theology of weakness, he covers so much biblical material as he explores this subject. Of all the chapters in the book I found the one on our weakness as churches the most thought-provoking. I don’t think it is a book for those going through suffering right now, rather a ‘big picture’ thematic exploration of the subject of weakness that points us to finding strength in Christ.
