This is an excellent CD providing hope and inspiration to those in the trenches of daily life and stuck in patterns of mediocrity and sin.
I expected more "do this, do that", but instead Cavins provides an historical context of why we have the patterns we have, before moving into the reality of Jesus living within us. He explains the philosophical and theological reasons behind the loving actions that are required of us as Christians - emphasizing the inward movement of the heart, from which the outward actions will flow. In the end, the listener is given a great deal of practical advice, because it springs from the heart, rather than a by-the-book list of things of how love acts.
He does not address issues that stem from childhood patterns, instead focusing on how embrace one's cross, love as Jesus loves in the moment, here and now, with whatever set of tools we have at our disposal at this very second. While this CD may not be complete for all persons, it is an inspirational tool in the arsenal of fighting sin and living the redemption that Jesus has already given us.
