Review: Come Along by Jane Rubietta

If you have ever felt dragged down by the seeming “must dos” of the Christian life, come along and learn of the freedom Jane Rubietta holds out to you.

In Come Along: The Journey into a More Intimate Faith, Rubietta invites her readers to a free and more intimate relationship with Jesus.  She leads us into new interactions with Him showing us how to encounter Jesus daily, minute by minute.

She gives us a fresh look at how Jesus really wants us to live.  We tend to make the Christian life so complicated.  We set rules to live by, we depend on Scripture software programs, a new method of prayer, a memory plan, or learning and using the original language.  Rubietta concedes this can all help but it can also get in the way. We tend to focus on the tools not on God. That makes us self righteous when all God really wants to do is manifest Himself to us in a vibrant encounter.

I love the way Rubietta shared her discovery of how Jesus loves us perfectly.  And when she learned that, she felt safe and also changed.  It’s that change that makes us lovely people.  Healing comes when we identify with the encounters with Jesus and pray through our issues.

Rubietta challenged me on how I will live today. Will I grow as a result of encountering Jesus?  How will the effect be revealed to other people?  How will I act as a result of the changes within me?

As you read Come Along don’t walk it alone. Take a companion along with you on your journey.  Included in her book is a Girlfriends’ Guide with ideas on how to use each chapter as a stepping stone to deeper friendships and healing in your life.

Jane Rubietta is an award-winner of eleven books. She also speaks internationally on the topic “when a woman changes, the world changes.”  Jane co-directs “Abounding Ministries” with her husband Rich, a composer, producer and pastor.  She and Rich have three children.
