Reflecting the Son: How to Mirror Jesus

"How Worshiping Jesus Reshapes All of You In this urgent and inspiring follow-up to Revering God, Thaddeus Williams presents Reflecting the Son: How to Mirror Jesus, a bold call to move beyond shallow notions of 'Christlikeness' that confuse it with mere niceness or vague spirituality. With clarity and conviction, Williams draws from philosophy, science, art, psychology, literature, and--above all--Scripture to reveal how worshiping Jesus transforms every aspect of life: our thinking, our emotions, our relationships, our creativity, and our purpose. Organized around the acronym R-E-F-L-E-C-T, this book offers seven dimensions of mirroring Jesus: - Reason like Jesus - Emote his compassion - Flip worldly power upside down - Love radically - Elevate others - Create beauty that reflects his genius - Transform all of life under his Lordship With theological depth, cultural insight, and a winsome blend of humor and devotion, Reflecting the Son equips readers to live Christ-shaped lives in tangible, transformative ways. Each chapter closes with powerful testimonies from leading theologians and robust study guides--making this book ideal for personal growth, church discipleship, and small group study. Reflection prompts, resources, and visual references can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download."

Revering God: How to Marvel at Your Maker

"Discover profound insight into God's attributes and learn practical ways to live a God-centered life that bridges the gap between abstract theology and awe-inspiring devotion. The chief reason we exist is to glorify and enjoy God. But for many, God remains a vague cloud of cosmic kindness, a super-sized projection of ourselves into the sky, or an impossible-to-please killjoy. Who is God, really? Who is this being we should thank for our next breath? Written in the great tradition of classic discipleship works like A. W. Tozer's The Pursuit of God, J.I. Packer's Knowing God, and R.C. Sproul's The Holiness of God, this discipleship guide stands out as our generation's invitation to good theology that yields profound, reverent, God-centered living. Bestselling author of Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth invites you to live a more theologically robust and biblical life as you learn how art, cinema, music, philosophy, psychology, apologetics, church history, and most importantly Scripture, can deepen your understanding and enjoyment of God. This book is perfect for those who: - Are looking to deepen their faith and understanding of theology. - Feel that their grasp of theology has weakened their pure enjoyment of God. - Want to rise to the call of selfless discipleship amid the moral chaos of our world. Throughout the book, you'll find stories from brilliant living theologians and leaders, including Joni Eareckson-Tada, Michael Horton, John Perkins, Fred Sanders, each sharing how a particular divine attribute has impacted their personal lives."

Don't Follow Your Heart: Boldly Breaking the Ten Commandments of Self-Worship

"Read by the author. Why chasing after expressive individualism, experiences, and desires always fails to deliver on its promise of happiness. Today we are told to be true to ourselves, look within for answers, and follow our hearts. But when we put our own happiness first, we experience record-breaking levels of aimlessness, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. Self-centeredness always fails to deliver the fulfillment we're seeking. In Don't Follow Your Heart, Thaddeus Williams debunks the 'ten commandments of self-worship,' which include popular propaganda, like: - #liveyourbestlife: Thou shalt always act in accord with your chief end-to glorify and enjoy yourself forever. - #followyourheart: Thou shalt obey your emotions at all costs. - #yolo: Thou shalt pursue the rush of boundary-free experience. Williams builds a case that this type of self-worship is not authentic, satisfying, or edgy. Instead, its rehashing what is literally humanity's oldest lie. He calls on a new generation of mavericks and renegades, heretics who refuse to march in unison with the self-obsessed herd. With a fascinating blend of theology, philosophy, science, psychology, and pop culture, Williams points us to a life beyond self-defeating dogmas to a more meaningful life centered on Someone infinitely more interesting, satisfying, and awesome than ourselves. Featuring stories from Carl Trueman, Joni Eareckson Tada, J.P, Moreland, Josh McDowell, Alisa Childers, and more. 'Following the herd is leading our generation off a cliff. Maybe a little heresy can do us a lot of good.' -Collin Hansen Field guides, graphics, manifesto, and signatories are included in the audiobook companion PDF download."

Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth: Audio Lectures: 12 Questions Christians Should Ask About Social Justice

"God does not suggest, he commands that we do justice. Social justice is not optional for the Christian. All injustice affects others, so talking about justice that isn't social is like talking about water that isn't wet or a square with no right angles. But the Bible's call to seek justice is not a call to superficial, kneejerk activism. We are not merely commanded to execute justice, but to 'truly execute justice.' The God who commands us to seek justice is the same God who commands us to 'test everything' and 'hold fast to what is good.' Drawing from a diverse range of theologians, sociologists, artists, and activists, Thaddeus Williams builds a case that we must be discerning if we are to 'truly execute justice' as Scripture commands. Not everything called 'social justice' today is compatible with a biblical vision of a better world. The Bible offers hopeful and distinctive answers to deep questions of worship, community, salvation, and knowledge that ought to mark a uniquely Christian pursuit of justice. In the Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth: Audio Lectures, Williams confronts our religious and political tribalism and challenges readers to discover what the Bible and the example of Jesus have to teach us about justice. He presents a compelling vision of justice for all God's image-bearers that offers hopeful answers to life's biggest questions."
