Let the Light In: Healing from Distorted Images of God

Do you feel like God is angry at you? Or at least disappointed? Our view of God shapes our minds, behavior, and relationships. What happens when we view God as a furious, frustrated deity? What changes when we glimpse a God who looks like Jesus? Building upon personal experience, biblical study, and recent discoveries in neuroscience, pastor and ministry coach Colin McCartney warns of the dangers of viewing God as a judgmental, angry dictator. Such a negative view of God poisons the mind and produces alienation from God and others. In its place, McCartney lays out a strong case, rooted in Scripture, for a more accurate image of a God that is Love. Healing from distorted images of God is one of the primary tasks of the maturing Christian, and McCartney gently leads readers on this healing journey. He also refuses to shy away from difficult topics as God's wrath, hell as eternal punishment, and violent depictions of God in the Bible. By sharing the beliefs of the early church fathers and mothers and pointing to a Christ-centered hermeneutic, McCartney inspires readers with the truth of a God who is extremely involved and deeply in love with every one of us. &#8203; What if the boundless love that we see in Jesus Christ isn't just one of many traits of God? What if that infinite, absolute love is, well, everything?

"Jesus came to start a movement not a religion." Jesus came to start a revolutionary movement of love, not the stifling, compliantly docile religion that is far too prevalent in our world today. To Jesus, poverty, racism, economic disparity, violence, classism, sexism and all other forms of injustice and oppression cannot be tolerated in the revolutionary kingdom reign of God. The question that the "Red Letter Revolution" asks is this, "Are we willing to continue in the revolutionary path of Jesus and labour on behalf of the oppressed of our day, no matter what the personal cost? Or, will we ignore the cries of the poor or even worse, go the way of the religious institution and blindly walk our way through a world of need?" In "The Red Letter Revolution" the reader will be challenged to join Jesus' radical movement by submitting his or her life to the words of Jesus written in red that are found in certain versions of the Bible. It dreams of a global movement in which "Red Letter Christians" gather together to worship Jesus, listen to his voice and do his works. And, it lays down a practical plan in which these "red letter" groups can impact their cities, nation and world especially in the lives of the poor and oppressed. Red Letter Christianity is God's dream for every nation in our world. Are you up for the challenge to join the revolution in acting out the words of Jesus locally, nationally and globally? If you are then this book is for you.
