Wesley s message and his faith continue to speak to 21st-century
Christians calling for a revival of our hearts and souls so that
our world might be changed.
Join Adam Hamilton for a six-week journey as he travels to
England, following the life of John Wesley and exploring his
defining characteristics of a Wesleyan Christian. Wesley s story is
our story. It defines our faith and it challenges us to rediscover
our spiritual passion."
In Making Sense of the Bible, Adam Hamilton invites us into an
honest conversation about the Bible. The book begins with
foundational questions such as, How and when was the Bible written?
Who decided which books made it into the scriptures and why? How
literally must we read it? And, Is the Bible ever wrong?
From there, Hamilton considers the real questions people
frequently ask that continue to divide Christians and denominations
alike, including: Were Adam and Eve real people? Why is God so
violent in the Old Testament?Why would Paul command women to "keep
silent in the church"? Is Jesus the only way to salvation?How does
God view homosexual people?Is the Book of Revelation a guide to the
End Times?
In approachable and inviting language, Hamilton addresses these
often misunderstood biblical themes leading readers to a deeper
appreciation of the Bible so that we might hear God speak through
it and find its words to be life-changing and life-giving.
In this six week video study, Adam Hamilton explores the key points
in his new book, Making Sense of the Bible. With the help of this
leader s guide, the video presentations from the author lead groups
through the book, focusing on the most important questions we ask
about the Bible, its origins and meaning.

The pastor of one of today s most dynamic churches illumines the
basic principles of attracting the unchurched to the Christian
message.
Using the story of Bob, a successful swimsuit salesman whose
business takes a turn for the worse when he moves to Alaska, Adam
Hamilton reminds us that all of life is about sales. Whether we are
in a job interview, a candidates debate, or a classroom, we are
selling something: our skills, our convictions, our selves. The
same is true of presenting the gospel to the unchurched. In leading
a friend to a saving relationship with Christ, in inviting them to
join us at church, we are presenting them with something that we
believe they need, that will make all the difference in their life.
Yet if we don t understand what we are presenting, who we are
presenting it to, if we don t believe in the message we are
offering, or if we don t believe that people need that message more
than anything else, then we will not be faithful witnesses to it.
In short, says Hamilton, if we don t understand some of the most
basic principles that all successful salespersons know, then we
will not succeed in presenting the message of Christ to those who
most need to hear it.
By telling the humorous and quirky story of Bob trying to sell
swimsuits in the Arctic, Hamilton explains the fundamental concepts
of sales that also apply in how we spread the gospel message.
Drawing on his experience as the leader of one of the country s
fastest-growing churches, he offers pastors and other Christian
leaders solid, simple guidance on how to share the faith, and grow
one s congregation."
