About this audiobook
Recovering Redemption. What does it mean? Recovering: Getting back, restoring. Redemption: God's plan of salvation, the gospel. Because we have a tendency to drift from the gospel, we must be reoriented back to the gospel. We must recover a right understanding and application of the gospel. We must see that the gospel is the fuel for salvation and sanctification and the panacea to fix all things. The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9 I can't. God can. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 God meets you where you are. But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In this book, Chandler takes a pastoral look at redemption, and changing our life habits. His co-author Snetzer is on staff at the church Chandler pastors, as well as being a licensed counselor. They tell us that the typical places people look to for help in changing their lives are of no help. People normally look to themselves, to others, to the world, or to religion. But none of these things can be in any help in affecting lasting change in our lives. Only the power of Christ can help change us. In the end, they say we don't really have a drug, alcohol, eating, lust problem. You have a heart problem. I recommend this book for all Christians. it will help to get clarify the way God works on our hearts and minds, and will help pull anyone closer to God. Although this book is about changing our lives and how God works, at it's core it is about the Gospel. It's all about and screams and complains and preaches the power and the gospel of Christ.
