Gospel Deeps
Author: Jared C. WilsonPublisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433526433
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
While pastoring for the past fifteen years, Jared Wilson has become known in contemporary evangelicalism for his passionate, gospel-centered writing and teaching. Following Wilson's well-received publication of Gospel Wakefulness, he writes Gospel Deeps as a "next step" to establishing the need for astonishment, which begins by looking at the astonishing things God has done in and through Christ. Wilson holds up the gospel like a diamond and examines it facet by facet, demonstrating the riches of its implications. This book serves as a valuable contribution to the emerging canon of gospel-centered literature, in the spirit of John Piper's Pleasures of God and Tim Keller's emphasis on a "robust gospel," and continues in the glory-reveling legacy left by Jonathan Edwards, John Owen, and the like. The distinctiveness of Gospel Deeps is found in Wilson's winsome and frequently ecstatic writing voice, as well as his unique approach to showcasing the gospel's beauty.

I Want to be a God Gazer
Author: Malcolm DuncanPublisher: Monarch Books
ISBN: 0857214829
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
It is so easy to rush through life, rarely stopping in the moments when a yearning for more comes to the surface. Here, Malcolm Duncan uses his poem, God Gazer, to entreat us to stop and look into God and to let Him look into us. This is a call to return to our primary calling: to seek and discover God. We see that to be world changers we must learn to gaze into God; that we can have an impact, but only as we look into Him and let ourselves be changed. Once we have seen Him, our passion becomes that others will see Him, connect to the Source, and see their own lives transformed. Reflective, engaging and inspiring, this book will help readers connect with the beauty, mystery and wonder of God.
