Produktbeschreibung

For the millions who have felt disillusioned with American evangelical culture, this book is a lifeline for navigating the cynicism of both conservative and progressive beliefs to find real hope in the life and mission of Jesus. As a pastor and author, Nicholas McDonald spent years helping people work through serious questions about the evangelical church's gospel and its often hurtful responses to those confused by American Evangelical culture. He quickly realized that what these people needed-what he really needed-was not merely apologetics answers but the good news that speaks to their deepest dreams: love, beauty, and freedom-the very things Jesus promises to those who follow Him. With excellent storytelling and profound insights from his own deconstruction journey, McDonald compassionately addresses the concerns so many readers have with the evangelical subculture's sense of entitlement, nostalgia, and cynicism. And he outlines a clear path to finding restoration in Jesus. The Light in Our Eyes offers nine ancient practices to help you experience anew-or for the first time-Jesus's love, beauty, and freedom and to embody and extend them in the world. Through the scriptural song of Zechariah and relatable, inspiring stories of men and women who have been restoried by the gospel of Jesus, this book reminds us that Jesus' dreams fulfill what our hearts have longed for all along. Journey from despair and darkness to faith and light as McDonald outlines a path to becoming reenchanted by the dreams Jesus has for each one of us, the church, and the world. To take up His dream is the invitation to believe again, and to hope again.
