In Created to Draw Near, Ed Welch uses the God-given role of the priest to help the reader better understand what it means to draw near to God. What many think of as an Old Testament ministry is used to show the intimate relationship we have with God through Jesus Christ.
There are many things to be commended in the book. One of the biggest things is Welch's questions and statements that challenge the reader to consider these Biblical truths would look in a person's life. Also, the points shared in the epilogue about the priesthood of all believers were insightful, especially considering this phase is often thrown around without much understanding.
One of the challenges in reading the book was staying focused while reading about the symbols, characters, and deep spiritual truth. It may be a challenge for some readers.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book through Crossway's Blog Review Program.
