Book Review: Blind Spots by Hansen

This book is like taking a long look at Matthew 7:5, "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." This is something that we often don't want to be confronted with but Hansen does this with grace. It is brilliantly written in a way that helps the reader see blind spots they deal with and how to live in unity with those whom they may typically avoid to make a complete picture of Christ for the watching world.

The author looks at three types of Christian groups that we tend to flock to. However, in joining with one of these groups it is easy to only focus on strengths and criticize the other groups weaknesses. This book is here to help us see our differences and embrace them to work fully together for the unity of Christ.

Personally this book was helpful to me in seeing my own blind spots. It helped me make sense of why certain groups who should be united in Christ are not. We all have blind spots and it is by grace that we can actually see them then work to remove them. This book is helpful for all Christians so that we can live more unified before the watching world. I highly recommend it.
