Most people are Christians by default. Bethke highlights the difference between teeth gritting and grace, law and love, performance and peace, despair and hope. He begins with the unvarnished tale of his own plunge from the pinnacle of a works-based, fake-smile existence that sapped his strength and led him down a path of destructive behavior. Crying out for a life greater than the one for which he had settled, Bethke discovered the real Jesus, who...

Some things are meant to be shared. We were made to know God but also to introduce him to others. Our faith is not just for ourselves. It's not to be hoarded. It's meant to be spread. To be contagious. But few of us are comfortable discussing our beliefs with other people. We wrestle with fear, a lack of preparation, and especially the sense that we'd have to act like someone we're not. In the pages of this book, author and teacher Mark Mittelberg...

Efrem Smith helps us see that Christian discipleship is a counterintuitive life. In a world turned upside down by sin, God carefully and lovingly strips...
