Description
Book SynopsisUnion with Christ is truly phenomenal and supernatural, but it is not make-believe or mysterious. It is beautifully pertinent to daily experience. In Christ focuses on how our union with Christ really does shape and impact not only everything we do and say, but how we say and do it.
Trade ReviewTimmis and de la Hoyde remind us in this wonderful book of the inestimable blessing of union with Christ...theologically rich but also accessible to the ordinary reader.
-- Thomas R. Schreiner (James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation and Associate Dean, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)
I have long been an admirer of Steve Timmis, his writings and the wonderful contribution he is to the kingdom of God. This book, In Christ, not only deepens that admiration, but intensifies my affections for Christ. As the title suggests, In Christ, is a thoroughly Christo-centric volume, reminding the believer that everything we are and hope to be is rooted in the person of Christ, and brought about by His precious Holy Spirit.
-- Bryan Loritts (Pastor, Abundant Life Christian Fellowship, Silicon Valley, California, Speaker and Author of several books)
Do not be deceived by this book's size or weight! Steve Timmis and Christopher de la Hoyde have written something weighty and rich that will be of huge benefit. This is a book, and a doctrine, to return to frequently.
-- Mark Meynell (European Associate Director, Langham Preaching, London)
This is a splendid book, ideal for all Christians. Steve Timmis and Christopher de la Hoyde explains this vital and central truth of the gospel clearly and readably and relates it to a range of real and practical situations which we all face. It deserves a wide readership.
-- Robert Letham (Wales Evangelical School of Theology, Bridgend, Wales)
The profound truth of our union with Christ is deftly explained in this book. And the ways in which this truth affects the lives of believers, the church, and mission is helpfully laid forth. All believers will benefit from reflecting deeply on its message.
-- Constantine R. Campbell (Associate Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois)
...the infectious enthusiasm, pastoral sensitivity, and enviable clarity with which he has written In Christ will help you to 'get it'. If you do not daily think of yourself as someone who is 'in Christ' you simply MUST read this book.
-- Sinclair B. Ferguson (Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi)
Thoroughly readable, highly practical volume on a vitally important subject... Highly recommended!
-- Evangelicals Now
... written by a man who recognises the importance of the local Church and so applies matters beyond the personal to the church level. The book would be ideal for a church study group. I recommend you buy it from your local EMW bookshop - while stocks last!
