Customer Reviews for B&H Books Gospel: Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary

For many years J.D. Greear looked like the model Christian. In high school, he avoided rock music, dancing, and movies because he thought they would make him worldly. In college he learned that international missions was important, and went to 25 countries in 10 years to serve God and the poorest of the poor with his time and resources. And as a pastor he leads a large, growing church. But somewhere along the way, he actually began to hate God. His thoughts were filled with negative emotions, like jealousy and anger, and he saw God as demanding more and more, and never satisfied. Greear finally realized he had never allowed the truth of the Gospel to impact his heart.

Gospel: Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary is Greear's manifesto to the world and the church exploring the beauty and power of grace-filled living. Greear also shares what he calls "The Gospel Prayer" a powerful way to saturate oneself daily with the core truths of the Gospel. Learn how to lay down your desire for a works-driven righteousness that always leaves you feeling empty, and embrace the full story of God's love and purpose for you.
