Unreconciled

The summons to live a radical life for God has led us away from doing the very basic things he has commanded. Instead of changing the world, our Lord Jesus calls us to change the way we approach relationships. Specifically, he challenges us to pursue reconciliation. Unreconciled: The New Norm invites Christians, especially those who are busy seeking to do great things for a great God, to remember the command ""to go and be reconciled"" and to renew their commitment to live in obedience to the things God has revealed. Perhaps by pursuing the seemingly ordinary, we will see God do extraordinary things in our pursuit to create cultures of reconciliation.

""Paul Jeon delivers a weighty message in this little book, based on a short letter of Paul to Philemon. . . . The message of forgiveness and reconciliation is not an outdated ideal, but an echo of the Gospel mandate that is relevant in all ages for all peoples. How we long for a true community today as ever! But it will never come, the author reminds us, until we are willing to engage the Gospel that points us to follow the self-denying and cross-bearing love of Jesus Christ.""
--S. Steve Park, Westminster Theological Seminary, Glenside, Pennsylvania

""Our lives are full of conflict. This is painfully clear at the cultural level, where we live in an age of outrage and polarization. . . . In Unreconciled Dr. Jeon calls us to a more beautiful way. The gospel life is not free from conflict; instead, it is full of reconciliation, of relationships made right. In this book, profound Scriptural insights flow into concrete, actionable steps. Few authors combine such depth and practicality.""
