A Jesus-Shaped Life: How Diving Deeper Into Theology Can Transform Us (Paperback)

A Jesus-Shaped Life, How Diving Deeper into Theology Can Transform Us and Our World with the Radical Kindness of God, A Back Porch Theology Book.

A true and simple understanding of theology will reveal to us the God who loves us unconditionally, has good plans for us (even in the hard times), and wants to do life with us. When we understand this, it will radically and beautifully change the way we see ourselves, others, and view our relationship with the Lord. When many of us hear the word theology, we conjure up visions of stuffy old guys in dark clothing, scratching a pen across paper (or maybe a quill across parchment!) and assume that it's not for us. But at its most basic, theology is just words (logos) about God (Theos). Conversations, if you will, about the most important part of our lives--our good, loving, and grace-filled God.

With her signature style and humour, bestselling Bible teacher Lisa Harper invites you into this life-changing conversation. She makes theology fun, practical, and applicable, explaining how academic-sounding concepts--such as imago Dei, atonement, the Trinity, the transcendence and immanence of Christ, and much more--are actually daily realities that make an enormous difference in how we live our lives, how we treat other people, and how we understand our own relationship to our Creator.

If you want to grow closer to God and take a more active role in your community of faith, it's time to take your understanding of God to the next level with sound theology rooted in Scripture. Let Lisa be your (very entertaining) guide in A Jesus-Shaped Life
