Matt’s Recent Updates

The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Timothy J. Keller
"Classic Keller, pressing Gospel truth into the deepest parts of our psyche… helping us to apply the gospel to our sense of self, the pitfalls of living for the opinions of others, or even for self esteem.

Lord, please may I learn the gospel humility " Read more of this review »
Conversion by Michael     Lawrence

Quotes by Matt Smethurst  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“A sweeping aerial view of the Bible’s topography focused on Christ therefore would look something like this: Old Testament Anticipation, Gospels Manifestation, Acts Proclamation, Epistles Explanation, Revelation Consummation. From beginning to end the Bible is an epic story about Jesus.”
Matt Smethurst, Tim Keller on the Christian Life: The Transforming Power of the Gospel

“You may be familiar with praying in response to God’s Word, but what does it mean to pray in anticipation of it? What does it look like to approach your Bible prayerfully? It means not rushing into your Bible reading, expecting the pages to magically microwave your cold heart.”
Matt Smethurst, Before You Open Your Bible: Nine Heart Postures For Approaching God's Word

“There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us.”
Matt Smethurst, Before You Share Your Faith: Five Ways to Be Evangelism Ready
