Kingdom Values

by Jon Tyson, Suzy Silk

Today, we live in a multi-cultural, post-modern society that offers us a variety of ways to pursue the identity, community, power, and purpose we need to "live our best lives." But the writer of Proverbs warns us that there are ways that seem right to us that actually lead to death—not the life we seek. Jesus spoke about a narrower road that leads to life. How do we find it? This book unpacks the five central teachings of Jesus that point the way to abundant lives marked by freedom, purpose, and joy. Each section contains exercises and practices that you can engage alone or with a group as you learn to walk in the way of Jesus.

Reviews

[Parker Friesen · Rating 3 out of 5]

The chapters on identity and community were real strong points of the book. Unfortunately, the definition of the gospel was very offputting and missed the historical point of the gospel, even going so far as to omit the phrase "according to the Scriptures" from their definition, which is crucial to explaining the identity of Jesus. Very approachable and helpful read in some respects, but the point on the gospel is hard to get past.

Great book on the foundational pieces of Christianity. Jon Tyson never disappoints!
