Description
A Practical Devotional Guide to What It Means to Be “In Christ”
Followers of Jesus refer to themselves primarily as "Christians," but the New Testament frequently used a more meaningful term: "in Christ." Disconnected from this deeper understanding of the gospel, believers today can miss out on the significance of unity with the Lord and its power to enrich every area of their lives.
In One with My Lord, Sam Allberry examines the doctrine of union with Christ through a rich study of New Testament scriptures. Each chapter is short enough to be read as a devotional, giving believers a fresh lens to view the gospel daily as they pursue holiness, resist sin, build community, and worship God. In a time when people are searching for a place to belong, One with My Lord reminds believers that they have a perfect home in Christ.
Accessible: Rich exposition of New Testament scriptures through short, devotional chapters
Practical Application: Help readers view every area of their lives and faith through the lens of being "in Christ"

Endorsements
"Like a glass of water when you have a headache and don't realize it's from dehydration, One with My Lord is the book you didn't know you needed. In his distinctively inviting style, Sam Allberry helps us drink in one of the most vital and consistently taught truths of Scripture: that we are 'in Christ' and that this changes everything. I highly recommend that you read this book and take time to process what it means."
Rebecca McLaughlin, author, Confronting Jesus: 9 Encounters with the Hero of the Gospels
"For too long the glory of the Christian's union with Christ has been overlooked, understated, and misunderstood. In this book, Sam Allberry has done a wonderful job of drawing our attention to the mystery and the majesty of this union. One with My Lord is a delight to read, an encouragement to our faith, and a witness to God's welcome of his children in Christ."
