Faith, Hope, and Love in the Kingdom of God

We live in a world full of challenges. The three graces can almost be seen as motors for Christian life in today's world, but the words faith, hope, and love have so many everyday uses that their technical, theological meanings are, for many, difficult to appreciate. Modern life also leaves many yearning for authenticity and meaning. Many religions have answered that need by calling to mind the image of a path. Always profound progressions, religious paths tend to be motivated either by practices (the act of walking the path) or focal points. Christianity has a focal point, an object, and it sees the three graces as distinctively content filled. The heart of this book is about helping people find the Christian path and their intellectual, emotional, and spiritual balance--an equilibrium that is sustained by a strong personal faith, an enduring hope for the future, and genuine love that will withstand the worst of times. It contributes to the category of Christian literature that provides a pattern for Christian living without surrendering the intellect to the more popular side of this genre.

""Faith, Hope, and Love in the Kingdom of Godis a must-read in light ofRobert Cubillos' biblical competency, historical understanding, philosophical insights, and ability to connect practical realities for each Christ-follower that provide clear and compelling personal applications for living out authenticfaith, hope, and lovewithin all of life's relational circumstances.Thank you, Bob, for providing such a full meaning of the frequently used words and phrase'faith, hope, and love'that are familiar but oftenmisunderstood or devoid of personal understanding.""
--Gordon Kirk, TeachingPastor

""Dr. Cubillos writes from a place of deep devotion and keen insight, and his book makes a substantive contribution to our understanding of the unity and power of faith, hope, and love engaged together in Christian life and thought. Readers will be challenged and moved by both the richness of style and the impact of the message.""
