Story
Over 12 chapters, Blessed covers the full text of the book of Revelation, exploring its call to patient endurance as God’s sovereign plans for judgment and salvation are worked out in the world. In this book, Guthrie shows how Revelation is less about when Jesus will return and more about who we are to be, what we are to do, and what we can expect to endure as we wait for Jesus to return to establish his kingdom in the new creation.

With the story of her conversion as a backdrop, Rosaria Butterfield invites us into her home to show us how God can use “radical, ordinary hospitality” to bring the Gospel to our lost friends and neighbors. Such hospitality sees our homes as not our own but as God’s tools for the furtherance of his kingdom as we welcome those who look, think, believe, and act differently from us into our everyday, sometimes messy lives - helping them see what true Christian faith really looks like.

Human beings were created to reflect the image of God - but only to a limited extent. Although we share important attributes with God (love, mercy, compassion, etc.), there are other qualities that only God possesses, such as unlimited power, knowledge, and authority. At the root of all sin is our rebellious desire to be like God in such ways - a desire that first manifested itself in the Garden of Eden. In None Like Him, Jen Wilkin leads us on a journey to discover 10 ways God is different from us - and why that's a good thing.

Christianity isn’t about following rules, it’s about a relationship. The rise in popularity of this phrase coincides with a growing disinterest and misunderstanding regarding the role of God’s life-giving, perfect law in the Christian life. Rather than the source of joy it was intended to be, the law is viewed as an angry god’s restrictions for a rebellious people.

If God is holy, then he can’t sin. If God can’t sin, then he can’t sin against you. If he can’t sin against you, shouldn’t that make him the most trustworthy being there is? Best-selling author Jackie Hill Perry, in her much anticipated follow-up to Gay Girl, Good God, helps us find the reason we don’t trust God - we misunderstand his holiness. In Holier Than Thou, Jackie walks us through Scripture, shaking the dust off of “holy” as we’ve come to know it and revealing it for what it really is: good news.

Story
Just like we do today, the writers and chief actors of the Old Testament felt a deep longing for the presence of God. It is symbolized in the temple ruins, and before it the temple itself, and before that the ark of the covenant and the tabernacle that housed it, and before that the Garden of Eden. In response to this longing, God shares his ultimate mission, in which his people play a part: the expansion of Eden, the temple of God's presence, to all peoples throughout the earth.

How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman discusses how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of “expressive individualism.” Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics and explains the modern implications of these ideas.

Possibly the best “sermon” I’ve ever heard
Nancy Guthrie’s mission is not to understand and explain theology for its own sake (knowledge) but to understand and explain theology as our means of more fully experiencing, or being blown away, by God’s love and plan for us culminating in the person of Jesus and our truly perfect forever home with Him. Thank- you, Nancy for bringing this all together in one place and for helping me to be even more awed by Jesus in my own life. Thanks be to God!

A story that leads to worship
This is now one of my favorite books, and Nancy Guthrie is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers. Even Better Than Eden summarizes the story of the Bible in light of eternity. There is careful attention given to detail, that bring out themes and things in the Bible I’d never before noticed as being pointers to Christ and the story of redemption. I often found myself in tears while reading, amazed at the beauty of the redemption story that God is weaving, but even more at the awesomeness of the God who is weaving it. A highly recommended read if you want to enlarge your capacity for worship of God through a deeper understanding of His Word.

If your heart needs a great reminder of the future. If you need to hear again and again who you are as a citizen of the Kingdom. If you want a good look at so much of how the whole Bible narrative comes together. This book is for you. As a guy listener, I thought her audio is a little “breathless” at times, but I wouldn’t have wanted to hear it from anyone else. She knows what deserves the excitement and imparts to the listening audience. Thankful for this book and will be recommending it to many.
