With clarity and conviction, he calls believers to resist shallow success and recover a gospel-centered, ethically grounded, Christ-shaped identity.
Through powerful metaphors, biblical insight, and cultural critique, this book offers a path forward: less performance, more presence; less branding, more belonging.

Gaining The Kingdom
Seven Shocking Sermons from the Mount
What kind of Savior is Jesus? Do the words meek, mourn, and peacemaker imply that Jesus was fundamentally passive and weak, or is there a strong view of the Lord that we overlook? N.T. Morton believes even the Lord's most submissive acts are undergirded by unbelievable strength and power. A weak view of Jesus results in a Christianity that stands for nothing and allows everything. A strong view of Jesus is needed to produce in the believer a life of integrity, character, strength, and holiness. In a world where so much is fluid and unstable, we need to see the Lord Jesus Christ high and lifted up, empowering us to earnestly contend for the faith in how we live our lives and treat one another.
