Reading The Bible Missing The Gospel
$14.99
Returning to the story of redemption brings clarity and color to the whole Bible!
You’re getting this wrong! Over and over, throughout the Gospels, this was the message of Jesus. With frustration and sometimes pity, He addressed the religious leaders and His disciples: Somewhere along the way your hearts and thoughts got confused, lost, way off track. Would Jesus have the same assessment of us today? How have we missed the teachings and messages of the Bible? How are we missing Jesus?
In Reading the Bible, Missing the Gospel, pastor and author Ben Connelly shows us how to recover God’s original intentions in light of the story of redemption. Connelly helps us celebrate and understand how Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection are truly good news for the tangible situations in our everyday lives. Biblical misunderstandings can lead to a small view of God–but truth overturns that. It expands our hearts for God and enables us to truly love others!
The author reveals shockingly common ways we get the Bible wrong. Connelly invites Christians to see themes and teachings with new eyes–or, rather, with old eyes–on topics like confession and forgiveness . . . what it means to be blessed or happy . . . whether we’re commanded to or prohibited from passing judgement. How does the gospel inform our understanding and answer these questions? Connelly gives readers a new gospel-focused lens that addresses common frustrations and helps them see with renewed hope, clarity, and courage.
