Lessons in Forgiveness (eBook)

Guaranteed safe checkout

Based on a series of sermons preached in the summer of 2012 to the Limerick Reformed Fellowship, Lessons in Forgiveness details the author's study of an overlooked chapter in the New Testament. This little letter breathes forth the gospel message of reconciliation, a subject often fraught with difficulty when its application in the church is attempted.

It seems that everywhere we look today, we see conflict: in the world, which, because of its rebellion against God, is doomed never to enjoy peace; in marriages, even Christian marriages; in homes, even in Christian homes; and in churches. The little letter to Philemon contains principles of peace which we would be wise to follow—especially since, as the children of God, we are called to be peacemakers. 

What others are saying about this book:

"It is also quite remarkable how much insight and knowledge Martyn McGeown is able to expound whilst explaining how the epistle connects with the salvation narrative of Scripture...[Lessons] is an excellent commentary on Philemon, but it is more than that. It is a beautiful photograph of the Gospel worked out in the lives of ordinary Christian people." - @biblebookstheology
