WHO: Steve Bezner, senior pastor of Houston Northwest Church and a local leader in Multi-Faith Neighbors Network. He also is an adjunct professor at George W. Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor University.
HE SAYS: “If I can have everything, I will eventually feel nothing.”
THE BIG IDEA: This book calls on Christians to return to what Jesus valued and confront the idols of greed, power, money and political influence.
THE PROGRESSION: In 10 chapters, the author invites readers who are frustrated with the way many churches pursue values that are not in line with Jesus’ teachings to return to what Jesus treasured and incorporate those values into their witness.
“The kingdom is our only path forward, because the path of competition has been worn into a path too hard for seed.”
