Alisa Childers – författare

“This may be the most influential book you will read this year.” —Lee Strobel, bestselling author of The Case for MiraclesA Movement Seeks to Redefine Christianity. Some Think that It Is a Much-Needed Progressive Reformation. Others Believe that It Is an Attack on Historic Christianity.Alisa Childers never thought she would question her Christian faith. She was raised in a Christian home, where she had seen her mom and dad feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, and love the outcast. She had witnessed God at work and then had dedicated her own life to leading worship, as part of the popular Christian band ZOEgirl. All that was deeply challenged when she met a progressive pastor, who called himself a hopeful agnostic.Another Gospel? describes the intellectual journey Alisa took over several years as she wrestled with a series of questions that struck at the core of the Christian faith. After everything she had ever believed about God, Jesus, and the Bible had been picked apart, she found herself at the brink of despair . . . until God rescued her, helping her to rebuild her faith, one solid brick at a time.In a culture of endless questions, you need solid answers. If you or someone you love has encountered the ideas of progressive Christianity and aren’t sure how to respond, Alisa’s journey will show you how to determine—and rest in—what’s unmistakably true.

En strömning försöker omdefiniera kristendomen. Vissa anser att det är en välbehövlig framåtskridande reformation. Andra anser att det är en attack mot den historiska kristendomen. Alisa Childers trodde aldrig att hon skulle ifrågasätta sin kristna tro. Hon växte upp i ett kristet hem, där hon hade sett sin mamma och pappa mätta de hungriga, klä de hemlösa och älska de utstötta. Hon hade sett Gud verka och hade sedan vigt sitt eget liv åt att leda lovsång, som medlem i det populära kristna bandet ZOEgirl. Allt detta utmanades i grunden när hon träffade en progressiv pastor, som beskrev sig själv som ”hoppfullt agnostisk”. Ett annat evangelium? beskriver den intellektuella resa som Alisa gjorde under flera år när hon brottades med en rad frågor som berörde kärnan i den kristna tron. Efter att allt hon någonsin trott om Gud, Jesus och Bibeln hade plockats isär befann hon sig på randen till förtvivlan . . . tills Gud räddade henne och hjälpte henne att bygga upp sin tro igen, en solid tegelsten i taget. I en kultur med oändligt många frågor behöver man handfasta svar. Om du eller någon du älskar har stött på den progressiva kristendomens idéer och inte är säker på hur du ska reagera, kommer Alisas resa att visa dig hur du kan avgöra – och vila i – vad som är otvivelaktigt sant. SAGT OM BOKEN ”Detta kan vara den mest betydelsefulla bok du kommer att läsa i år.” – Lee Strobel, bästsäljande författare till Fallet Jesus och Fallet mirakler Berättelser om hur människor tappar tron är det nya normala. Vi känner alla människor som en gång verkade vara solida kristna men som har lämnat tron. Alisas berättelse om sin egen återuppbyggda tro är en frisk fläkt. Hon delar med sig av sina tvivel och strider och den resa som Gud ledde henne på för att återupptäcka den fasta klippa som hon står på. Denna utmärkta bok är full av hopp och sunda skäl till att tro på Jesus och Guds ord. Randy Alcorn, författare till Heaven, If God is Good och Giving Is the Good Life Ett annat evangelium? är en aktuell bok som måste läsas. Genom sin personliga resa jämför och kontrasterar Alisa Childers det historiska kristna evangeliet med det progressiva ”evangeliet”. Ingenting är viktigare än att korrekt förstå de goda nyheterna om Kristus och svara på utmaningar mot det, vilket är anledningen till att jag är tacksam för hennes mod och tydlighet. Sean McDowell, PhD, biträdande professor vid Biola University och författare eller medförfattare till över 18 böcker Ett annat evangelium? är en av de viktigaste böckerna i vår tid. Den visar hur progressiv kristendom omdefinierar Guds natur, Jesu uppdrag och evangeliets budskap – samtidigt som den undergräver Skriftens auktoritet. På dessa sidor avslöjar Alisa Childers denna farliga rörelse och leder oss tillbaka till en biblisk tro. Mark Mittelberg, bästsäljande författare Jag älskar den här boken! Alisa Childers tar dig med på en fängslande resa från hennes oreflekterade konservativa kristna tro till ett annat evangelium och sedan tillbaka hem till den sanna Jesus. Längs vägen dekonstruerar hon progressiv kristendom med humor, insikt och bevis som är lätta att komma ihåg. Ett annat evangelium? kommer att vaccinera dig mot frestelsen som är långt mer förförisk än ateism. Och det är en trevlig läsning också!
