We believe a lot of false narratives about the nature of God; things like "God helps those who help themselves"; "God blesses the righteous"; "God might not be out for your good; and you might be missing something." But pastor and professor James Bryan Smith points us to the truth of who God is; revealed by Jesus: A God who loves to help the helpless. A God who doesn't play favorites; whether righteous or unrighteous. A God who is; in his essence; self-sacrificing--even to death--to save a people he loves. In six short chapters; zooms in on Christ's work on the cross and what it all means about who God is and how we're to live as his people. A soul training exercise is included for each chapter to help the new true narrative take root in our hearts. And a discussion guide at the end makes this complement to The Apprentice Series perfect for groups to work through together; especially during the season of Lent. Understanding Christ's work on the cross is crucial for any apprentice of Jesus. Here is a resource to help you see--and believe--more fully; that you might live more faithfully in his kingdom.
