Patience, perseverance, and self-control--these strengths provide the basis for a truly fruitful and expressive Christian life. Robert C. Roberts offers a thoughtful analysis of these traits as the ways Christians have to keep themselves steadfastly on the track of hope, faith, joy, thanksgiving, and love. Filled with vivid illustrations and concrete advice, this book reveals the strengths of Christians as powers which permit us to live with integrity and become definite individuals, not merely pawns of the social environment to be shaken by every passing impulse and mood.
Rob Bell’s highly-praised third book, Jesus Wants to Save Christians, is his most political yet. Published as part of the Rob Bell Classics relaunch, this is an inspiring call-to-arms for Christians to tackle poverty, inequality and oppression.
Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"? Troubling questions—so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud. But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them? What if it is God who wants us to face these questions? Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance. The result is the discovery that the "good news" is much, much better than we ever imagined. Love wins.
Teenage Christian friends engage in a spiritual struggle in a chaotic world.
In order to find an authentic understanding of the Christian faith, Bell frees readers to consider God beyond the picture someone else painted.
