5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Christ-focused and Bible-based book
By Debbie TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on April 5, 2010
Format: Paperback
"Christlike" is a book about what it means to be a disciple of Christ and why we should want to be one. It's Christ-focused, Bible-based, and the author used Scripture to make his arguments. I enjoyed that he presented a balanced, whole-Bible view of the various points of theology that he touched on. He understood that sometimes it's not a matter of one or the other being more important but of both being equally important since they're interconnected.

Chapter two examined the five main leanings in the Western church today (like a social justice focus, prosperity focus, etc.) and how they have some things right but that their focus is off. This causes problems in the type of Christians they turn out. I understand why he put in this chapter--and he handled it well and didn't come across as condemning--but I felt the heart of the book was the topic of discipleship, which was covered in the rest of the book.

He promotes following Christ's example. He showed how reading the Bible is a way to grow in your relationship with Christ and how to let what you read in the Bible change your life. He described how surrendering to Christ's work in our heart and being obedient to God with our actions (even when we don't feel like it) leads to changes to our thoughts and emotions that work outward to effect our everyday actions. This leads to uncomplicated obedience to God that can change the world, one person at a time.

I was sometimes a little hesitant about how the author worded things when trying to describe an idea, but his conclusions were always spot-on and Bible-based. The book makes you think because he correctly doesn't try to simplify what is complex, but the information is not difficult to understand and he does get to "the simplicity on the other side of complexity.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsEasy Read But Thought Provoking
By Esther Joy on April 6, 2010
Format: Paperback
This was a good book. It was definitely thought provoking. He introduced the book with some of the more major views among evangelicals. This was definitely helpful to begin with because in order for us to be like Christ we have to see that our brothers and sisters are going to differ with us on some of our views. I think that my favorite chapter in the book is when he talked about prayer. He used the original Latin phrases, but then linked them to Eugene Peterson's lingo. He was right about something. Many people have really lost the sacredness of having devotions. When I sit down to have my time with God I do it to learn something and really don't meditate on what I've read. I've equated knowledge with maturity which is a dangerous position to be in. Instead, we need to "Read. Think. Pray. Live." This was definitely one of the most meaningful chapters in the book. The rest of the book is like this, but this is what stuck out to me the most.

4.0 out of 5 starsa valuable read for me
By Big C on January 3, 2011
Format: Paperback
Romans 1:5-6 provides a perfect summary of this book's message:

"Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name's sake. And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ."

Christlike by Bill Hull is a thinking person's book. It asks good questions without necessarily giving the reader their answers. Rather, it provides the reader means to answer these questions and make applications for him- or herself. It identifies pitfalls such as false gospels, church isolationism, false idols, self-worship. The author describes what the church might look like if each believer came alive in faith and obedience and provides tools for obedience wielded by faith. It strays at times a little too far towards works righteousness, but in its best moment hits the right motivation for the spiritual disciplines on the head--they do not change us, but position us to be changed.
This book is clearly written to evangelical believers. It is a call to the church for change from the inside out of each believer. The literary weaknesses of this work--little description of the author to help the reader to answer the question, "Why should I read this book?", lack of clarity as to who the intended audience is, straying into theological jargon foreign to many potential readers in an unnecessary way, lack of clear connection to application -- actually made this book minister better to someone like me. I am groaning in my flesh, desiring in my divine nature to grow beyond where I am in Christ.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsA decent book on discipleship, but I've read better
By George on May 23, 2010
Format: Paperback
Christlike is written to those with a knowledge of the truth of the Gospel, but inaction in their practice. Hull's intention seems to be to kick-start dead motors, getting the process of discipleship back in motion. Hull stresses the need to be active in our faith, and provides insight into the way we have been fooled into complacency by our culture and our nature. While Hull provides good reason for a life of discipleship, a number of words came to mind as I read, and they were rarely positive: pleading, hyperbolic, non-specific, muddled, dependent, and secondary.

The book begins by describing how the Gospel has been emended or lessened, corrupted by the surrounding culture at the expense of the true Gospel. While he does a good job of presenting the failures of the church in each of its doctrinal and historical manifestations, his statements will probably alienate a lot of well-meaning Christ-followers. The social/inclusive gospel, the consumer gospel, and the prosperity gospel are all treated, as is the "salvation" gospel, in which salvation is the sole task of the Church, with discipleship forgotten. His words are riddled with historical details, and seem well grounded. But he often moves from facts to generalizations in an indefensible manner, and many of his assumptions are offered in a way that is off-putting to a reader from a different background.

For example, on pp. 23-24 Hull describes an interview for a pastoral position which touched at one point on the complentarian-egalitarian debate.Read more ›
