Answers one of the biggest barriers to belief. Christians are increasingly seen as outdated, restrictive and judgmental when it comes to sex before marriage, cohabitation and homosexuality. In fact for many people, this issue is one of the biggest barriers for them considering Christianity. Sam Allberry, author of many books including Is God Anti-gay sets out God's good design for the expression of human sexuality, showing that God himself is love and that only he can satisfy our deepest desires. It is a great reminder of the Bible's positive blueprint for love, sex and marriage and ideal for giving away to people who may see this as a stumbling block for belief.
Pokud jde o postoj k tělu, hrozí nám dvojí nebezpečí: Buď že se na tělo zaměříme příliš, anebo že ho nedoceníme. Sam Allberry vysvětluje, že každý z nás je obdivuhodně stvořen způsobem, který budí úžas a bázeň, a že svou tělesnou stránku můžeme vnímat jako dar. Nabízí nám biblické vodítko pro porozumění své identitě,sexualitě i otázce genderu a pomáhá vypořádat se s výzvami stárnutí, nemocí a smrti. Připomíná naději, kterou máme v Kristu, a budoucnost, která díky němu naše fyzická těla čeká.

For many the resurrection is a nice thing to believe, the 'happy' ending to the gospel, as though after the darkness of the cross Spielberg was brought in to do the finish. But 'Lifted' shows that it's far more. The resurrection has overwhelmingly positive implications for our daily lives. Through it we can have real assurance of forgiveness and salvation. We are raised and empowered to live new, transformed lives. We have hope after death for our bodies and this physical world. We see the urgency of reaching all nations with the message of the risen Jesus. Life is now we have been lifted. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just for Easter. It's for all of life.
The church has an image problem. It is widely viewed in the world at large as being outdated, boring, irrelevant and filled with backbiting hypocrites. How different that picture is to how the Bible talks about the new family that Jesus has gathered. It is a precious bride, a sparkling jewel, a lifeboat for forgiven sinners that is precious and holy; nurturing and warm; filled with truth, friendship and all embracing, forgiving love. Sam Allberry understands the collision between these two views, and how, even as Christian believers, we can lose sight of how truly wonderful church is and should be, and what a privilege it is to be part of, and to serve. In this brief accessible but thorough guide to church, Sam outlines what church is and why we need it. And how, when we have got it wrong, we can move closer to what a true church should be.
