It is a rare book that can hold my attention as Am I did. Scott MacLellan’s work is an authentic depiction of the opportunities and challenges that every thinking person faces. The probing questions in Am I are exactly what we need if we wish to go deeper in our faith. I recommend you move this excellent book to the top of your stack.

Finally, with Scott MacLellan’s Am I, we have a work that provides a 3-D look into the subject of faith; one that is thoroughly comfortable with challenges and uncertainties, unafraid of any affront; full of respect for those of other faiths, yet conceding nothing when it comes to the power and efficacy of the gift provided us in Christ.

By taking a statement of preeminence and converting it into a series of personal questions, Scott MacLellan masterfully leads readers to contemplate the condition of their faith. Then, he explores the very essence of that faith itself. Am I connects the spiritual dots until a beautiful picture of faith emerges.

Told intimately from the author’s own life’s experiences, Am I is an exalted “book of truth.” This is high-level wisdom—not something written from “theory” or from a distance—but instead something that is expressed with an intimate, personalized narrative with all the “pain, agony, and gnashing of teeth” that is salved and healed by God’s love and grace—“one on one” in real life. Moving and engaging!

Am I has served as the answer to my question, “How do I develop an understanding and relationship with God?” This book is helping me work in earnest to learn how to “build” my faith and prepare my mind for the long game.

God on our terms is no God at all. If there is a Creator, we need to hear what He has to say about Himself. In Am I, Scott MacLellan points us to God’s self-revelation as shown through the series of questions God poses to His creation. To wrestle with these questions is a wonderful, challenging journey.

Premised upon the logic of C. S. Lewis that Christianity is either of infinite importance or no importance (moderate importance is not an option), Scott MacLellan, in his beautiful exposé, Am I, draws upon Scripture and his own life story to lead readers into disciplines and practices found in those living a truly abundant life in Christ. For seekers and new believers, as well as mature followers of Jesus, Am I is a must read. It will remain on my book shelf as a life-long reference.

In the pages of Am I, Scott MacLellan moves one’s mind and character into a condition better able to see God—not through a dusty mirror of generic questioning and unintelligent idioms—but through the messy experiences of our daily lives and a bold faith committed to exploring God’s sovereignty in the midst of it all.

I have known Scott MacLellan for over a decade and would read anything he pens. His enduring faith, even in light of his difficult family challenges, has been an inspiration to me. Am I is a must read for those who battle with their personal faith. Read on and be inspired.”

Scott MacLellan’s new book, Am I: Building a Life of Personal Faith, is a great encouragement to those either going through difficulties or those wishing to deepen their relationship with their Creator. I highly recommend this book as an important read for either group.

Powerful and thought provoking, Scott MacLellan’s Am I invites us to face our existence and the beliefs within. Perhaps most importantly, though, the work leads us to turn to and experience Him in questions that every human holds within their soul.

I was truly and deeply impacted by the overall message of Scott MacLellan’s Am I. Not only was I enriched by its teaching, but I also was blessed as it spiritually moved me! This book is sure to become a classic and belongs on every Christian bookshelf.
