The God Who Gives: How the Trinity Shapes the Christian Story

Synopsis

Many Christians Wonder What The Christian Life Is All About. They Hear About Grace But Struggle To Rightly Understand It, Much Less Live It. They Are Taught About God, But Their Vision Of Him Does Not Always Reflect The Full Biblical Portrait Of The Father, Son, And Holy Spirit. When This Happens Christians Struggle To Know The Ways Of God And How To Joyfully Participate In His Work. The God Who Gives Provides A Compelling Vision Of Christian Faith And Life, Helping Readers Discover The Uniqueness Of The Gospel - That God's Kingdom Comes Not By Taking, But By Giving - God Gives Himself! We Are Invited Into The Fullness Of Life That Can Only Come Through The Gift Of God's Divine Generosity. The God Who Gives Calls Readers To Discover That The Whole Christian Story Is Founded Upon The Triune God's Self-giving And Our Belonging To God. Fully Embracing This Truth Changes How We View God, Ourselves, And The World. Living In God's Gifts, We Are Freed To Give Ourselves And Truly Experience Life. -- From Belonging To Bondage -- The Ewe Lamb -- All Things Belong To God -- Everything Appears Lost -- The Need For A King -- The Coming Of The King -- What Went Wrong? -- God Reclaims All By Giving All : Son, Spirit, And Kingdom -- The Vineyard Owner -- The Gift Of The Son -- Believing The Gift -- The Gift Of The Spirit -- Experiencing The Gift -- The Gift Of The Kingdom -- Living In The Gift -- How Will God Get Back What Was Lost? -- Living In The Gifts : Cross, Resurrection, Church -- A Kernel Of Wheat -- Following A Crucified Lord -- Resurrection Faith And Work -- Resurrection Life In Action -- Receiving Life Together -- Giving Life Together -- God So Loved, He Gave.
