Gospel Centered

Une vie centrée sur l'Évangile: Devenir un disciple selon le cœur de Dieu

Meet James, who is struggling to relate the Bible to his dull, difficult life.
Or Kate, who is trying hard as a Christian, yet is deeply disappointed with God.
Or Susie, who dutifully shows up at church each Sunday, but feels alone and out of it.
Or Andrew, whose courage fails him every time he tries to share the gospel with his workmates - leaving him feeling guilty and a failure.

How can ordinary Christians live the truly extraordinary life that God calls us to? By focusing our attention on the grace of God shown to us in the gospel, everyday problems and experiences like these, familiar to Christians everywhere, can be transformed as the cross of Christ becomes the motive and measure of everything we do.

Sympathetic to our struggles... clear and concise... rooted in the Bible... relevant to our everyday experience... The Gospel-Centred Life shows how every Christian can follow the way of the cross as they embrace the liberating grace of God in Christ.

Use this workbook to help you, your small group or your whole church grow into Christian maturity.

Un libro de estudio sencillo de leer. Con aplicaciones prácticas. Ejemplos de la vida diaria para un cristiano ¨común¨.
Es un estudio ligero, con verdades profundas expresadas de una manera muy accesible de leer para todo público.
Lo recomiendo ampliamente para un estudio en familia o grupos pequeños.

Me gustó mucho la visión tan práctica de este libro. El autor basa todo en la Palabra, lo que hace que sus enseñanzas no solo sean inspiradoras, sino también sólidas. Siento que marca un antes y un después en mi manera de entender el evangelio, ya que me desafía a vivirlo de una forma más tangible en mi día a día. Definitivamente, me ha dejado con ganas de leer los demás libros de la serie. ¡Altamente recomendado para cualquiera que busque crecer en su fe de manera profunda!

I've gone through three of Timmis and Chester's "Gospel-Centred" studies now and will just say that I highly recommend them. I did them on my own, but they would be great for couples or, obviously, a small group. Simple but not "fluffy"- more meat than milk.

This is worth reading. I think it would be best to go through this book in a small group setting.
