Have you lost your footing in church? Or has the church lost its
footing? Many of us feel unsteady, disoriented, even crushed after
an endless string of scandals within the walls of a place meant to
offer compassion and safety. Others feel forced to draw back or
distance ourselves from the church. All the while, our instincts
tell us this is not what Jesus wanted for his people. But what did
he intend? After four decades of ministry, Anglican bishop Todd
Hunter is no stranger to betrayal and pain in the church. Still, he
has hope. He believes more than ever that Jesus is who the world
needs and that Jesus has plans for his followers. In What Jesus
Intended, Hunter offers a vision for emerging from the rubble of
bad religion and rebuilding faith among a community of sincere
believers. By unpacking the purposes of Jesus, we can expose
twisted, toxic religion for what it is and embrace the true aims of
the gospel. Come for a fresh hearing of Jesus-one that offers us
the healing and goodness we've always longed for.
Experience deep wholeness in your life that springs forth from the
peace of God. We live in a fearful, anxiety-driven age where the
problems and challenges of the world assault us from every
direction and every media source, and they far exceed our abilities
to respond to them. The sense of desperation that often comes of
this leads to discord and violence: from bitter, cutting remarks to
the atrocities of war; from pervasive racism to knee-jerk
micro-aggressions. It contributes to our current, peace-bankrupt
social discourse, leading to patterns of dismissing, dividing from,
condemning, or hating people. But what if the root of these
problems is not found out there, in the situations, the information
or misinformation of what's happening in the world? What if they
come from here: in our minds, hearts, thought-life, and emotions?
In Deep Peace, Todd Hunter, founding pastor of Holy Trinity
Anglican Church, analyzes the anxiety and desperation of our
current moment and brings it before a biblical framework of
profound peace. This book provides practices to help Christians
value and actively seek peace, becoming people of reconciliation in
ordinary life. Deep Peace: Uncovers the ten things that are most
harmful to peace in a person's life. Unpacks the "Trinity of Peace"
found in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and how we can
find rest in each person of the Trinity. Reveals spiritual
practices that will teach you how to pursue an inner calm and
become the kind of person that meets conflict with love and
renounces fear. Deep Peace is a timely benediction that offers a
practical and spiritual guide to recenter believers in the peace of
Christ.
Many are longing for historical connectedness and for theology that
is "not tied to the whims of contemporary culture, but to
apostolic-era understandings of Christian faith and practice." They
also yearn for rhythms and routines that build spiritual health.
Still others are responding to a call to participate in worship
rather than merely sitting back and looking at a stage. Liturgy
offers all of this and more. In this book Todd Hunter chronicles
his journey from the Jesus People movement and national leadership
in the Vineyard to eventually becoming an Anglican Bishop. Along
the way he explains why an evangelical Christian might be drawn to
the liturgical way. Curious about the meaning of liturgy? Come and
discover what may be waiting for you there.
