Truly Positive: Seeing the world differently because of Jesus

Synopsis 

Christians can often be very negative. While there are many things broken with our world due to sin, a pattern of negativity and complaining is at odds with the good news we have in Jesus Christ. How do we go about dealing with this negativity without simply pretending that everything is perfect? This book unpacks some wonderful Bible passages that explain how the good news of Jesus Christ can transform our worldview into a truly positive one. No matter where you are in your faith journey, Simon van Bruchem reminds us of the joy of knowing Jesus, and the opportunities to serve God amidst the negativity in this world.
