Synopsis

Even for the religious, life is full of questions: What is faith? Can my life be more satisfying? How can I deepen my walk with Christ? What does it mean to be happy? These bubble and boil underneath the surface of our everyday life. And though we ignore them, we know they point us to realms of wisdom or even mystery-to something more.Author Mark Buchanan asked these same questions. "I want more, God," he prayed-and the answer was more than he was looking for. It was right there, hidden in plain sight among the syllables and syntax of a few words of advice from the apostle Peter. With time and experience, Buchanan learned to tease it out, this secret of more, and he wrote a book about it: Hidden in Plain Sight. The answer, he discovered, is an investigation of the cross. The answer is an excavation of the virtues. The answer urges us passionately to "make every effort." And, Buchanan tells us, the answer is worth it.

A co worker recommended this book to me, he said it was very thought provoking and at times he had to put it down because it was so deep, he needed time to digest it. So i was intrigued.

Goodreads review by Tim on September 18, 2023

Yet another great book by Buchanan - I make an effort to find and read every one he writes! Scripturally rooted, ministry-minded, personally candid, and beautifully expressed, Buchanan explores the topic of growth in Christian character. While expositing some "lesser known" verses in 2 Peter 1, the a......more

Goodreads review by Tim on February 01, 2021

Solid book on the seven virtues of the life of the Apostle Peter. Did not care much for the author's snide remarks and often talking against intellectual side of Christianity. Really insightful stories and application to our lives for these virtues and the life of Peter.......more
