This book is structured into four sections, modeled after the pursuits of the Christian life: Section One: Grow Close to Christ As Christians, our first and most basic discipline is cultivating and growing into that personal relationship with Jesus as we hear from him, speak to him, and worship him. Section Two: Understand the Work of Christ There is content to the Christian faith information and facts we need to understand. We need to grow in our understanding of what God is accomplishing in this world, and as we do that, we will want to grow in our knowledge of God himself so we can better understand who he is and what he is like. Section Three: Become like Christ The Bible tells us to be conformed to the image of Christ, to think like him, to speak like him, to behave like him. We do this by putting away old habits, patterns, and passions and by replacing them with new and better habits, patterns, and passions. Section Four: Live for Christ We need to learn to live for Christ from the moment we wake up each day to the moment we fall asleep, to live in such a way that we draw attention to him and bring glory to him. Read more Praise for Visual Theology: "Tim Challies (the writer) and Josh Byers (the designer) have teamed up to produce a truly unique introduction to theology and guide to living the Christian life. This is show-and tell at its finest. Most theology books merely convey what we are to believe, but this one uses creative and beautiful design to capture and portray these crucial truths. I know of nothing else quite like it, and I trust that God will use it to help his people see and celebrate reality in a new way." Justin Taylor, managing editor of the ESV Study Bible and coauthor of The Final Days of Jesus "This is simple yet profound, clever without being flashy. Helpful and practical. Speaking as a person who avoids diagrams and graphs at all costs, I found the infographics in this book to be illuminating. This cheeky little number is a class act." Mez McConnell, pastor of Niddrie Community Church, Edinburgh, and director of 20schemes "Youve probably seen (or used) a gospel presentation drawn on a whiteboard or a napkin. Its remarkable how God gives us spiritual insight when we behold truths about him with our eyes. With engaging graphics and descriptions of the Christian faith, Tim Challies and Josh Byers have done something genuinely unique in Visual Theology. See for yourself!" Gloria Furman, author of Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full and The Pastors Wife "My mind is blown. Tim Challies and Josh Byers marry rock-ribbed Reformational theology with breathtaking presentations. The effect is something like following John Knox into the Matrix. In this diaphanous world, we encounter no fiction, but very reality itself God-reality and we are transformed." Owen Strachan, associate professor of Christian theology and director of the Center on Gospel and Culture at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Read more
