Matt Chandler (1) (1974–)

The content of this book is good, and he does a nice job of covering the gospel and its implications from the perspective of individual salvation and redemptive history.

All of us have a sense of dissatisfaction, and we typically look for solutions in four areas: self, others, the world, and religion. None of these, however, will satisfy. 'Recovering Redemption' is about recovering what is lost and broken―our relationship with Jesus―because the gospel is the remedy to fix all things: every struggle, every circumstance, every relationship, everything. In this 12-session study, Matt Chandler explains the implications of the gospel with surprising clarity and striking candor. Those who have been Christ followers for years will find that it helps connect the dots of their faith, serving as a bridge between salvation and maturity.

Pensando na necessidade que muitos cristãos têm de conhecer a principal mensagem da fé cristã, Matt Chandler apresenta ao leitor uma ousada exposição do verdadeiro evangelho.… (más)
