Description

Love and wrath. Sovereignty and responsibility. Victory and suffering. Some of the truths we read in the Bible seem to be in opposition to each other. We naturally tend to gravitate towards a side, but when we lose sight of one truth in order to protect the other, we are in danger of becoming proud, creating division, and diminishing our faith.

In this compelling, inspiring, and at times provocative book, Adam Mabry urges us to stop taking sides and refuse to participate in tribalism by mapping out a way to hold in tension truths that we so often divide over.

You’ll discover how our joy and our witness rest on us learning to hold to all that the Scriptures teach and growing in virtue as we do. You’ll learn how to wrestle with all that the Scriptures say, to embrace mystery, to listen closely, and to speak with clarity.

Adam is Lead Pastor of Aletheia Church, part of the Every Nation Church network.

Paul Dale

Senior Pastor of Bridge Church, Sydney

Provocative, refreshing, and compelling reading. This book will expose unhelpful and unnecessary divisions, and enable healthy, gospel-empowering unity. A must-read for staff teams, lay leaders, and any thinking Christian.

Tim Mackie

Co-founder, The Bible Project

One of the more important skills for the 21st century is learning how to hold our theological convictions without giving in to divisive controversy. The body of Christ is so much more than the sum of its divisions, and Adam Mabry has given us wise guidance on how to maintain unity and disagree agreeably when it comes to complex theological topics.

Linda Allcock

Author, Deeper Still

Challenging, stretching and in some places quite uncomfortable. Adam challenges us to grow in humility towards Scripture and other Christians, especially those who understand things differently to us.

This book will make you think, it will make you search your heart and it will make you run to the Lord for help as you try to live for Him in this world.

Alistair Chalmers, 1 Sep 2020

Mabry helpfully unpacks a number of things in a bit more depth to help the reader think through the implications of their thoughts and actions regarding a particular truth.... continue reading

Convicted and Challenged

Aaron Lee, 15 Sep 2020

This book was a difficult read for me – not because it was poorly written, but because it was written so well. I was convicted and challenged. I tend to see things in black and white, I make my own boundaries, and I wall myself in. But this book shows me a better way: let go of our tribes and cling to Christ.... continue reading
