"Does the Christian life have to be such hard work?
There are endless books describing how to live a “better” and “more disciplined” Christian life, and the long list of things to remember, eliminate, or put into practice can start to feel discouraging. The aim of this book is to go deeper—to ask what it’s all about in the first place. Why did God save you? What does it mean, practically speaking, to love him? Why is it sometimes so difficult to live in his ways?
Come and discover the heartbeat of your new life in Jesus, and find that you can truly enjoy being a Christian."
"Why Missions and Evangelism Are an Overflow of Delighting in God
Evangelism and missions are parts of the Christian life often accompanied by fears, insecurities, and cultural pressures. In this addition to the Union series, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves argue that an individual's relationship with God influences their evangelism and missions more than anything else. Scripture clearly shows that a believer's responsibility is to make God known in the world, but this cannot be done without first knowing and enjoying God.
To illustrate how knowledge of God influences evangelism and missions, Hames and Reeves address biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ's sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church's future hope. There is hope for those who find these topics intimidating—when believers focus on the glory of the lamb of God, the gospel will shine through them.

"How the Church's Mission and Knowledge of God Are Intertwined
Many Christians know they should be passionate about evangelism, but in reality they often find it daunting. In this concise version of God Shines Forth, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves urge Christians to grow in their knowledge and enjoyment of God—as they know God more, they will be spurred on to authentic service through missions and evangelism. To illustrate how the nature of God influences evangelism and missions, Hames and Reeves address biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ's sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church's future hope. They invite readers to look to Jesus as the glory of God in the world, which is the Christian's ultimate motivation to share the love of God with others.
