Only One Addiction Can Set You Free Matt Papa was a "professional
Christian" in full-time ministry, ready and determined to change
the world. All the while he was depressed, addicted to the approval
of others, and enslaved to sin. But then everything changed. He
encountered the glory of God. All of us live in the tension between
where we are and where we ought to be. We try our best to bully our
desires into submission. And we all know, this is exhausting. Are
you tired? Stuck? Still fighting the same sin you've been fighting
for years? The call in these pages is not to work or to strive, but
to lift your eyes. You don't need more willpower. You need a vision
of greatness that sweeps you off your feet. You need to see glory.
Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Look
and Live. "Matt has helped me see that love for God grows out of an
experience of beholding the love of God. We burn only as we behold.
. . . This is a fantastic book and I commend it to you with the
most enthusiastic support."--from the Foreword by J.D. Greear "Matt
Papa cares about the glory of God, and you can sense that zeal on
every page of this dynamic book. He also cares about you and me
getting to grips with that glory. . . . Matt guides us through
these pages with kindness, seriousness, and love--for God's greater
glory and our greater good."--Matt Redman, songwriter and worship
leader "Making our lives about one unflinching gaze upon the glory
of Christ--what a vision Matt Papa has put before us. I encourage
everyone to read this book!"--Tony Merida, pastor, professor, and
author "Matt Papa's book is a snakebite kit for suffering sinners.
Each sentence of Look and Live extracts Satan's deadly venom and
resuscitates the soul with the life-giving power of the glory of
God!"--Tony Nolan, snakebite survivor, author, and gospel preacher
"To journey through this book is to go on a quest that will awaken
our souls to the reality of the One who is 'majestic in holiness'
and 'awesome in glorious deeds.'"--Dr. Brent Crowe, author,
speaker, and vice president of Student Leadership University "I
have been wonderfully blessed by Matt Papa's friendship and
ministry. I am grateful his reflections on worship are now shared
in Look and Live. It is biblically faithful and keeps the focus of
worship where it belongs: on our glorious God."--Daniel L. Akin,
president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary "Matt Papa
faithfully points us to the soul-stirring glory of God. Read this
book and allow your heart to once again behold the wondrous
mystery."--Matt Boswell, founder of Doxology & Theology, and
pastor of ministries and worship at Providence Church, Frisco,
Texas "This is Matt's life message--that Jesus Christ alone is
worth living for, and that when you gaze upon His majesty and glory
you will never be the same. This book is theologically robust and
practically helpful, packed with Scripture and insight into the
person and work of the risen Son of God. . . . This is a true gift
to the church."--Clayton King, president of Crossroads Camps and
Clayton King Ministries "If C. S. Lewis and David Crowder wrote a
book together about worship, you would have the rich theology of
the great Christian apologist with the deep passion of worship from
the contemporary artist. That's what Matt Papa has given us in Look
and Live--a must-read for every worshiper."--Mike Harland,
president of LifeWay Worship
