The Wholeness Imperative
How Christ Unifies our Desires, Identity and Impact in the World
Scott Redd
Honest and engaging
Theological and pratical use of Bible passages
Breaking down life’s fragmentation to gain wholeness in Christ
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.

Christian Focus
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.

In The Wholeness Imperative Dr Redd helpfully draws out – and illustrates from personal experience – the Bible’s teaching about the integration of faith and life. The book is a heart–warming call to an ongoing and holistic surrender to the Lordship of Christ. The author encourages a sanctification that brings every part of life into captivity to Christ in obedience. This book will help Christians to grow in grace and become what we are.
