Gospel Formed: Living a Grace-Addicted, Truth-Filled, Jesus-Exalting Life

A call to Christians to be caught up in the powerful whirlwind that is the gospel of grace Christianity is based on the foundation of the good news of the gospel. Yet how many Christians truly find their identity there? How many are thriving in a community clinging to the gospel? How many forget about the wondrous glory of Jesus? J. A. Medders is on a mission to help Christians remember that the power that raised Jesus from the dead is also the power for our everyday life in Christ. Yet living a gospel-centered life does not always come easily. The biblical meditations in Gospel Formed help to kindle, or rekindle, the passion to live a grace-addicted, truth-filled, Jesus-exalting life by constantly driving the reader back to the power of the cross and the empty tomb. Funny, punchy, and theologically accessible, readers will be encouraged, challenged, and ultimately reoriented to the true North of Christianity―Christ Himself. “Medders has given us a devotional book that is fresh, biblical, and very funny. . . . Read this book, savor this gospel, and then get off your couch and take some dominion in the name of Jesus.” -- Owen Strachan, professor of theology and church history ― Boyce College Published On: 2014-06-23 “If the gospel has become something routine to you, not the kind of good news that lights up a Galilean sky with angels, read this book with expectation. J. A. Medders . . . can shake you out of routine and toward glory.” -- Russell D. Moore, President ― Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission Published On: 2014-06-23 J. A. Medders is the lead pastor at Redeemer Church (Acts 29) in Tomball, Texas. He writes at The Gospel Coalition, Desiring God, For The Church, and more. To read more from J.A.
