Hope Has Its Reasons: The Search to Satisfy Our Deepest Longings
We are not okay, says Pippert. Christians have lied in worshipping idols of health and wealth, in blaming others for their own sins, in pretending that the newly coverted have "arrived," and in avoiding genuine self-scrutiny. The Cross and Resurrection give the power to change, as Christians learn to live these events in their own lives. No "cheap grace" here, but challenge from Christian tradition and contemporary society for deep reflection on one's own life in light of the Gospel, human reason, and meditation.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
