Publisher's Synopsis
Rediscover the God who inspires passion in our hearts.
In the past several decades, a grassroots global movement has people rediscovering a Jesus-looking God who is raising up a Jesus-looking people to transform the world in a unique, Jesus kind of way. This accessible introduction to understanding the character of God outlines what it means to be a Jesus-centered Christian and a Jesus-centered church. Authors Gregory A. Boyd and M. Scott Boren lay out the radical truth at the heart of this movement: the conviction that God looks like Jesus. In other words, in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, we see the embodiment of God's very essence--a love that is humble, other-oriented, and self-sacrificial. This truth is the heart of the gospel. If we think it through thoroughly and live it out consistently, this truth has the power to transform the church and, through the church, the world.
Open these pages to encounter the freedom of a God who looks like Jesus and join the larger movement of the Spirit to reignite the church with Jesus at the center.
