There is a yearning within all of us to be ‘whole’ – a recognition that we live fragmented lives. In this semi–biographical work, Scott Redd examines this fight, discussing how we should be approaching it theologically and practically, in our day–to–day lives. Filling each chapter with doctrines and biblical texts, Redd uses his theological training to tease out the idea of becoming fully–functioning, love–filled, Christ–devoted people. With an engaging, humorous tone, this book presents Christ as the unifying force of our hearts and minds – not abstract or unattainable, He is right in front of us, waiting to be embraced.

Drawing from his extensive knowledge of Scripture, Scott Redd pursues the theme of wholeness through the story of salvation, from creation to the new heavens and new earth, in a way that is clear, faithful, and compelling. It will enrich both the pastor in the pulpit and the hymnwriter in the back pew.

Scott Redd’s luminous style, personal anecdotes and literary allusions delight and engage us to keep on turning the pages to become whole. If you are looking for a good read, The Wholeness Imperative is it.

The Wholeness Imperative is a delightful and encouraging read. Scott Redd invites us to walk with him as he reveals his own search for wholeness in Christ. He writes as a scholar with a pastor’s disposition. His humility, humor, honesty and hope lead us down paths that we should all be eager to follow. You will find yourself in this book time and again. You will find Christ and the wholeness He offers to you as well.

Scott Redd gets behind the familiar truths that we recite and stirs us to think about what it means to love God with all our hearts. This book about holiness and wholeness aims at nothing less than healing the broken image of God.
