Publisher's Description
These 15 articles were chosen by Testamentum Imperium Founder Kevaughn Mattis with Michael G. Maness from among 163 articles published in the 2011 online journal. Each author was chosen for their expertise and decades of experience in the practice of pastoral care in their unique fields. How the practicality of grace applies in suicide, sex addiction, sexual assault, shame, hospital or prison chaplaincy, even in eschatology and forgiveness is covered by these veterans in the field. The articles touch a broad scope of affliction from physical to moral dilemmas. And part of the choice was not to find from the 163 those who see eye-to-eye. We desired to share the unique expertise. Each author is a weathered captain who has ferried souls across tumultuous waves of grief, confusion, self-control, and internal torment to a port of healing and peaceful victory. With contributions from: Peter Lillback Glenn R. Kreider Terry Ann Smith Timothy J. Demy Patricia Cuyatti Chavez Leon Harris Christopher D. Surber Keith A. Evans Alan M. Martin LaVerne Bell-Tolliver John DelHousaye Enrique Ramos Sabrina N. Gilchrist D. J. Louw

“This is a fascinating collection of essays from different theological perspectives that will help Christians understand more deeply what it means that they are eternally secure in Christ, and how that belief has significant application to daily life.”
“How do people wanting to follow Christ apply such an important concept as God’s grace to everyday life? Michael Maness and Kevaughn Mattis have brought together biblical scholars and practitioners to address this very question. The result is an excellent work of ‘praxi-doxy’—that beautiful marriage of Christian living with orthodox theology. Highly recommended.”
“This is Protestant ecumenism at its best, an Augustinian unity on the essentials and yet freedom in the nonessentials. The book showcases a spectrum of theological denominations and traditions, but all firmly rooted on a common cause: not just the amazingness of grace but its economic realities. The breadth of concrete application to contemporary issues is extremely satisfying. So it goes to show that the gospel is not just about ‘Jesus died for your sins,’ but the kingdom of God is truly, comprehensively ‘Jesus is Lord of everything.’”
