Audio book: "Slave" by John MacArthur

I have listened to a book called Slave by John MacArthur. In this book MacArthur's point is that as Christians we are slaves to Christ. This is something that has been lost in translations through the years, and many Bible translations rarely use the word "slave" as it is used in the Greek "doulos." Instead the word "servant" is used, which has an entirely different meaning than slave. MacArthur shares a history of slavery and compares human slavery to our role as slaves of Christ. It is rather interesting to note all the similarities. One part I found interesting was the history of John Newton, who wrote the song "Amazing Grace."

This book is read by the author. He has a pleasant voice and is easy to hear. It always gives a more personal touch to have the author read his own work.

Thank you to the christianaudio Reviewers Program for providing this audio book to me for my honest review.

Have a day of blessings!

I haven't read (or listened to) this particular book yet, but will plan to do so! John MacArthur is one of the most respected & accurate expositors of God's Word that I know of!
Thanks for sharing this book review!
