No Fruitless Words: Reframing the Pursuit of Knowledge Around the Gospel - Paperback

by Kristen Lavalley (Author)

Social media has recently been overtaken by stories of government conspiracy, complicated webs of pedophilia and human trafficking, and secret groups of Satanists running the world. Overnight, stories that previously only existed in forums and anonymous blogs were now being shared by thousands of people, including those we know, love, and respect. More and more people are insisting that believers "wake up" to the evil around us, but is that what believers are called to? Should the focus of a believer be about obtaining more knowledge? How does the Gospel compel us to respond to evil? Are our only options to know more or to ignore it altogether? Or does Jesus move us in an entirely different direction? We have to reframe what we "know" around the bigger story: The Story of God and His People. And that story isn't just a story about good beating evil, it's a story of redemption and hope. If what you've been exposed to through friend or through social media, has made you fearful, panicked, and restless, this book will fill you with hope, expectation, and joy as you recenter your mind and your heart around the Gospel.
