Brief, compelling devotionals by Sam Allberry help believers understand what it means to be “in Christ” and how unity with Jesus shapes their daily lives.
“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.”—Kyle Worley, Pastor, Mosaic Church, Richardson, Texas; Cohost, Knowing Faith Podcast“Being ‘in Christ,’ Sam Allberry says, is ‘the Bible’s primary way of talking about what it means to be a follower of Jesus.’ Allberry helps us see the wonder of salvation and the Christian life through the lens of union with Christ. In his delightfully clear and accessible style, he takes us through various aspects of what it means to be a man or woman ‘in Christ.’ This warmly pastoral work is grounded in careful reading of the Scriptures and serious theological reflection. Allberry shows us that union with Christ is richer, broader, and deeper than we might have imagined, with very practical implications for everyday life. Read this book and be encouraged.”—Mark D. Thompson, Principal, Moore Theological College“Sam Allberry’s writing is always refreshing and rooted in real experience, but this book really stands out. Allberry leads us gently through many different scriptures, not only to help us understand even the trickier passages but also to show how it all fits together. He clears up our misunderstandings, relates to our confusions and failures, and still makes it all about Jesus! One with My Lord is a vital and deeply pastoral book that helps us make more sense of both the Bible and our messy lives.”—Mark Meynell, Director (Europe and Caribbean), Langham Preaching; writer; preacher; cultural apologist“This book is excellent. A needed and good addition on the reality of our union with Christ. I hope it gets a wide reception.”—Trevin Wax, Vice President for Research and Resource Development, North American Mission Board; Visiting Professor, Cedarville University; author, The Thrill of Orthodoxy; The Multi-Directional Leader; and This Is Our Time“Sam’s book isn’t just a theological exploration; it’s deeply practical. He shows us how this union can reshape how we pray, how we persevere in trials, and how we live with purpose and joy. I’ve found that reflecting on this truth has given me both comfort and encouragement in my relationship with Jesus. I pray the truths in this book point you to Jesus and encourage you to pursue a deeper union with him.”—Kathy Keller, Editor, Gospel in Life
