The Very Good Gospel: How Everything Wrong Can Be Made Right

The Very Good Gospel: How Everything Wrong Can Be Made Right

God once declared everything in the world â€œvery good.â€
Can you imagine it?
Â
A Vision of Hope for a Broken World
Â
Shalom is what God declared. Shalom is what the Kingdom of God looks like.
Shalom is when all people have enough.
Itâ€™s when families are healed.
Itâ€™s when churches, schools, and public policies protect human dignity.
Shalom is when the image of God is recognized in every single human.
Shalom is our calling as followers of Jesusâ€™s gospel. It is the vision God set forth in the Garden and the restoration God desires for every relationship.
Â
Â
What can we do to bring shalom to our nations, our communities, and our souls? Through a careful exploration of biblical text, particularly the first three chapters of Genesis, Lisa Sharon Harper shows us what â€œvery goodâ€ can look like today, even after the Fall.
Â
Because despite our anxious minds, despite division and threats of violence, Godâ€™s vision remains: Wholeness for a hurting world. Peace for a fearful soul. Shalom.
