The Gospel isn't first and foremost about forgiveness. That's simply how we enter into the hallway of salvation to explore all of the rooms in the palace. That's why we need these three books of the Bible. They remind us that God has given us some Promised Land to take as a result of our salvation. They help us to discover the God who keeps on giving.
God inspired the Bible for a reason. He wants you read it and let it change your life. If you are willing to take this challenge seriously, then you will love Phil Moore's devotional commentaries. Their bite-sized chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to the Straight to the Heart series.

Zusammenfassung
In One for All: The Implications Malcolm Duncan brings a prophetic call to the Church to be truly one body, and to work towards unity. In this volume, Malcolm faces up to the challenges and explores principles for being a united Church. Instead of fracturing over secondary issues, Malcolm is passionate that the global Church should celebrate our God-given unity, centred on mission and the primary truths of faith. His call: Let's learn how to be One for All. Building on the theology explored in his previous volume, One for All: The Foundations, here Malcolm offers the Church a solid grounding in how to apply this.
