Head, Heart and Hands: Bringing Together Christian Thought, Passion and Action
3 Great Reasons to Buy from Us:
Review For pastors who suspect something might be "out of balance" in the spiritual life of their own flock--or in their own lives--Head, Heart, Hands will be a welcome corrective. -- Brian Turnbow in The Covenant Quarterly, February 2008 As Christians, we are to love God with all of our being--heart, mind, soul and strength. But many of us tend to overemphasize one aspect or another, and as a result, our faith becomes imbalanced. Some of us have an intellectual faith but lack compassion or spiritual discipline. Others of us have a vibrant, heartfelt relationship with God but lack commitment to truth or doctrine. And many of us overlook translating our faith into service and ministry. In this book ethicist Dennis P. Hollinger presents a holistic, integrative vision for reuniting Christian thought, passion and action. He shows how individuals, churches and movements throughout history have focused on either the head, or the heart or the hands--often to the exclusion of other expressions. But by linking our intellect, emotions and actions, Hollinger points us toward a whole faith for the whole person, where each dimension feeds, nurtures and sustains the others. Review "The central thesis of this book is solidly biblical: Every Christian should be bent toward integrating mind, heart and hands--the mental, emotional and practical. Can a book (mental) stir the passions (emotions) and thus lead to action (practice)? I join Dennis Hollinger in hoping it will." -- James W. Sire, author of The Universe Next Door and Habits of the Mind About the Author Dennis P. Hollinger is president of Evangelical School of Theology in Myerstown, Pennsylvania, where he also serves as professor of Christian ethics. He is the author of Choosing the Good: Christian Ethics in a Complex World.
