Böcker av Keith R Anderson

The theme of redemption is tied up with restoration, the reinstatement of humans to their original glory and the renewal of all creation. Restoration implies the recovery of something lost and the reestablishment of a condition which was previously enjoyed. Thus to be gripped by the wonder, power and sheer audacity of redemption, we need to examine that which was lost, the original condition to which God is restoring his people and creation. The argument of this book is that the narrative of redemption that we find in the Bible is the way that God offers restoration to humanity. As such, it provides the signposts that the ministry of soul-care must follow. The book also proposes that soul-care should be the primary objective of Christian counseling and an essential part of local church ministries in the mutual support believers give to each other.

Drawing on the writings of Augustine, John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila and others, Keith R. Anderson and Randy D. Reese show that the age-old practice of Christian mentoring is meant to facilitate our growth throughout life. They provide motivation, principles and plans for starting and continuing mentoring relationships.
