Wir dachten, wir wären geheilt, doch die meisten von uns haben unbewusst eine alte, leblose Sichtweise in ihr neues Leben hineingebracht. Dieses Buch stellt die Diagnose, dass die Menschen wie besessen davon sind, ihre Sündenprobleme auf eigene Faust zu bewältigen. Das hat die Gemeinde vergiftet und die ursprüngliche Gute Nachricht verschleiert. Wir haben einen Maßstab aufgestellt, dem wir nicht gerecht werden konnten - und so haben wir uns eingeredet, es sei Gottes Maßstab. Manche von uns haben sich von dieser Farce verabschiedet und sind zynisch, misstrauisch und gleichgültig geworden. Unsere Ehen, Gemeinden, Familien, Freundschaften, unsere Kultur ... sie alle brauchen das Heilmittel, das allein uns heilen und befreien und nachhaltige, authentische, liebevolle und lebenspendende Gemeinschaft hervorbringen kann. Doch Gottes Heilmittel taucht selten in der Form auf, in der wir es erwarten ...

The Cure gives the diagnosis of this century's religious obsession with sin-management. It has poisoned the Church, obscuring the Original Good News and sending millions away-wounded, angry and cynical, from nearly any organized expression of faith. The Cure offers an authentic experience in Christ that frees some from a self-rewarded righteousness, and others from a beaten down striving for a righteousness they can never seem to attain. The Cure infuses a relational theology of grace and identity, which alone can heal, free and create sustainable, genuine, loving, life-giving communities.

High-powered executive Steven Kerner is living the dream in southern California. But when his bottled pain ignites in anger one night, his wife kicks him out. Then an eccentric mystery man named Andy Monroe befriends Steven and begins unravelling his tightly wound world. Andy leads Steven through a series of frustrating and revealing encounters to repair his life through genuine friendship and the grace and love of a God who has been waiting for him to accept it. A story to challenge and encourage, Bo's Cafe is a model for all who struggle with unresolved problems and a performance-based life. Those who desire a fuller, more authentic way of living will find this journey of healing a restorative exploration of God's unbridled grace.

The act of sin - ours or someone else's - creates within us an involuntary response of either guilt or hurt, which leads to the inevitable effects of pain, turmoil, and mask wearing. Understanding how to reverse the process of unresolved life issues is what Behind the Mask is all about.

TrueFaced draws a clear distinction between two very different underlying motives Christians sometimes operate under: our determination to please God or to trust Him. This book shows us how to trust Him more.Explore issues of identity and grace in your relationships with others and with God.
