The Gospel: How the Church Portrays the Beauty of Christ - Hardcover
by Ray Ortlund (Author), J. I. Packer (Foreword by)
How does the church portray the beauty of Christ?
The gospel is a theological message. But this message also creates human beauty--beautiful relationships in our churches, making the glory of Christ visible in the world today.
In this timely book, Pastor Ray Ortlund makes the case that gospel doctrine creates a gospel culture. In too many of our churches, it is the beauty of a gospel culture that is the missing piece of the puzzle. But when the gospel is allowed to exert its full power, a church becomes radiant with the glory of Christ.
