Off the Shelf: Entrusted

Entrusted: Anchoring Your Life in the Gospel

By David Shibley

entrustedIn today’s moral and theological fog many have lost sight of the gospel. Lesser agendas have taken center stage. In this confusing, fearful time you have been vouchsafed with the greatest Story ever told­—you have been entrusted with the gospel! This book is about anchoring your life in the gospel—prizing it, protecting it, proclaiming it, and living in its priceless privileges. It’s a call to put the gospel first—first in our loyalties, first in our preaching, first in how we view people, first in how we view life. This is a book whose time has come. Let its message bring fresh hope, joy, and passion for Jesus to your heart!

My endorsement:

G.K. Chesterton once said, “People reject the idea of original sin when it is the only doctrine of Christianity that can be empirically proven.” And, indeed, the daily headlines confirm that something is desperately wrong with humanity, and with our world. In this bracing volume my friend David Shibley persuasively diagnoses the problem and winsomely describes the solution–the good news of Jesus Christ, applied to all of life. For a fresh dose of encouragement on how to share this good news, don’t miss Entrusted!
