Good advice is hard to find. True accountability is harder.As men,
it's hard to admit fault, defeat, or weakness. But the reality is
we need each other. People are broken. People have shame. Shame
leads many of us to believe that not even God can love us. But
shame is a biblical emotion and can remind us in a healthy way that
we need God in our lives. In truth, we can change.The 7 Principles
of Highly Accountable Men is designed to help you do just that.
Change is a process and often takes longer than you may think; for
many of us it is a lifetime journey. Written by recovering addict
Mark R. Laaser, and based on Scripture and the traditional
twelve-step programs for personal change, this journey contains the
truths of the seven habits of highly accountable men.
Responsibility is routinely overlooked, manipulated, and
oversimplified. In Scandalous Obligation, Eric Severson explores
the scope of Christian responsibility. This book delves into the
slippery nature of obligation, the dilemma of competing calls for
justice, and the perilous temptation to dismiss or avoid
responsibility. Using examples from popular culture Severson casts
an expansive and often daunting vision of responsibility that
challenges the status quo.This book presses readers to consider the
many complications that arise when Christians begin to understand
the extent of their responsibility for the suffering that abounds
in the world. It explores how Christians are to turn this approach
to responsibility toward the clouds of injustice and pain that hang
over our world today. With a brilliant use of Scripture,
illustrations, and insights from classical literature and
philosophy, Eric Severson makes us aware in this book that sin is
not simply the breaking of rules, but is living with indifference
to the needs of others when confronted by those needs.'--Tony
CampoloProfessor Emeritus of Sociology, Eastern UniversityAuthor,
Adventures in Missing the Point, Red Letter Christians In an era
when so many Christians confuse their ethics with their politics,
Severson summons the followers of Christ to once again take note of
the 'alien at the gate.' Scandalous Obligation is a disturbing
wake-up call to a church grown self-absorbed and complacent.'--Karl
