In a season of tension, conflict, and division, Lisa Sharon Harper comes to remind us of the Very Good News of Jesus. Not only has God come to save us from sin or hell, but He has come to restore the very relationships around us. Through Christ, we are reconciled to God, to others, and to creation, which brings a peace that passes understanding, the shalom of God. In her book to believers, Lisa encourages us to see the Image of God in others, to hear others’ stories, and to bring reconciliation to this broken world. With every answer and story, she brings fresh perspective on the Gospel and fills her words with passion and love for God.
