Hope has not come from the University System that undermines our moral values and overwhelms our children with unprecedented debt. Hope has not arisen from our political system even though our current president ran on that premise. Hope certainly hasn't come from the 3 1\/2 inch screens that enslave us through perpetual connectivity. The only hope for our culture is the family, and the only hope for the family is the spiritual leadership of parents committed to biblical principles. Brian's book offers practical suggestions to trigger parents to do what they already know they should do and already suspect they are capable of doing. This book is a starter kit with practical suggestions and simple action steps that will prompt further ideas and applications that will recalibrate your family on its spiritual foundations. The exercises you find here are flexible; the principles behind them are not.

They seem chiefly to focus on two central areas: apologetics and the gospel message of salvation. So when Christians think of this topic, it would not be surprising if they also directed their thoughts to these two subjects. After all, both of these messages are frequently found in the New Testament. Many wonderful books and articles have correctly centered on the gospel itself, as well as on defending the faith. These twin topics have been thoroughly addressed in literature. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs crucial as these areas are, this stance would miss many other aspects of the resurrection, which play a much larger and intricate part throughout the New Testament. I have often said that the resurrection is like a many-faceted diamond. Turn it one way and, like looking into the depths of the elegant gemstone, one finds the very center of the gospel proclamation. From another angle, it is our chief evidence for the truths of Christianity. Turn it other ways and it is connected to many other treasured doctrines. When the light hits from still other directions, it is connected to many everyday practices in the Christian life. This event truly does present many varying perspectives and believers need to cultivate the richness of each.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe begin with a discussion of the resurrection as the very center of the New Testament message. Then we look at this event as a sign for hardened, open-minded and sympathetic unbelievers. After addressing the nature of both the gospel facts and faith, we look at the truthfulness of Jesus’ teachings, especially what He said concerning Himself. Then we move on to other theological topics and the light that is shed on them by the resurrection event. For example, we also link this great event to the believer’s resurrection, as well as to other future events.
