Bestselling Author Kevin DeYoung Offers Hope for Those Who Feel Like
Christianity Has Become Hopelessly Crushing and Complex: The
apostle Paul described the Christian life as a race, but to many
believers it feels more like a punishing obstacle course. Fearing
they’ll never be able to do enough or give enough or be enough, they see
themselves as spiritual failures. But Scripture offers good news: even
in ordinary life, Christians can be faithful, fruitful, and pleasing to
God. Impossible Christianity reassures readers that they don’t need
to feel a collective sense of guilt for sins in the past and solve every
societal problem in the present. Through biblical wisdom and engaging
personal stories, Kevin DeYoung challenges the misconception that we
need 40 hours in the day just to be good Christians. By reflecting on
what Jesus actually taught about Christian discipleship, readers will be
newly encouraged to pursue single-minded devotion to God and find
lasting joy in a life of sincere and simple obedience.
