A Life of Conversion Meeting Christ in the Gospels

Description

A Life of Conversion Meeting Christ in the Gospels is an exploration of the process of transformation that the Holy Spirit invites each believer to enter into as we cooperate with grace and grow in our Christian life.

“As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And he rose and followed him.” — Matthew 9:9

Conversion. The word is often associated with a one-time event, such as the call of Saint Matthew. But even for Matthew, that call was only the beginning, the moment when he started following Jesus. For Matthew, as for all the saints, his conversion lasted a lifetime. Real conversion — repentance and turning toward God — is a process that happens daily. It is our continual “yes” to the Lord and the grace he offers us.

In A Life of Conversion, Derek Rotty walks through eight Gospel passages that reveal essential lessons about conversion. Through these stories from Scripture, you will encounter Christ again and again, and, with him as your model, you’ll be drawn into a deeper relationship with the master of conversion.

Each chapter includes reflection questions that are perfect for both individual and group study.
