J-Curve: Dying and Rising with Jesus in Everyday Life

Inconveniences, disappointments, and trials often leave us confused, cynical, even bitter. The apostle Paul traces a pattern of dying and rising with Jesus which, like the letter “J”, goes down into death and then up into resurrection. Continually reenacting Jesus’ life—the J-Curve®—drains the energy from our cynicism as it resets our expectations for the normal Christian life. The J-Curve is so encouraging, so liberating, that once you see it, you can’t unsee it! You’ll find yourself joyfully dying and rising with Jesus in everyday life. Named as World Magazine's 2019 Book of the Year for Accessible Theology.  Sample chapter
