      Autoři pocházejí z Evropy, proto je nám kontext knihy velmi blízký a srozumitelný. Timmis a Chester radikálním způsobem doplňují zažitou tradici evangelikální církve, z níž se v naší praxi a myšlení postupně začal vytrácet podstatný prvek evangelia, kterým je misie. Kniha je praktická a přitom odborně napsaná. Nejde o naivní „plácnutí do vody“, ale o nastolení zásadní diskuse reagující na dnešní situaci v Evropě, posun kultury a nemohoucnost zaběhlých modelů vyrovnat se s touto změnou.

      This book argues from Scripture that godly fear is the opposite of being afraid of God or his punishment, as if he were a tyrant. Instead, it is the intensity of the saints' love for, delight in, and enjoyment of all that God is.

      A Biblical Case for the Importance and Goodness of Being “Evangelical” The term  evangelical  is often poorly defined and frequently comes with cultural and political baggage. As the label has become more controversial, many Christians have begun to wonder if they should abandon it altogether. Michael Reeves argues from a global, scriptural, and historical perspective that, while it’s not necessary to discard the label altogether, Christians must return to the root of the term―the evangel , or “gospel”―in order to understand what it truly means. He identifies the theology of evangelicalism and its essential doctrine―the Father’s revelation in the Bible, the Son’s redemption in the gospel, and the Spirit’s regeneration of the heart―calling believers to stand with integrity as people of the gospel.

    • Many books are written by experts. This book isn't one of them, ' admits Tim Chester. 'It was written out of my own struggle to change. My long battle with particular issues set me searching the Bible as well as writings from the past. This book shares the amazing truths I discovered that now give me hope. 'For years I wondered if I'd ever overcome certain sins. And while I can't claim to have conquered sin - for no one ever can do - here are discoveries that have led to change in my life and in the lives of others.' You may be: A new Christian, struggling to change the habits of your former way of life. An older Christian, feeling you've plateaued: you grew quickly when you first believed but now your Christian life is much of a muchness. A Christian who's fallen into sin in a big way, wondering how you'll ever get back on track. Other books describe how we should live, but this book outlines how we can change. It's about hope: the hope we have in Jesus, hope for forgiveness, and hope for real and lasting change. God promises liberating grace and transforming power to his people.
