Many churches claim to be gospel-centered but do not have a ministry that is shaped by, centered on, and empowered through the gospel. The implications of the gospel have not yet worked their way into the fabric of how that church does ministry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGospel-centered ministry is more theologically driven than program driven.

The gospel is neither religion nor irreligion, but something else entirely--a third way of relating to God through grace. In \u003cem\u003eShaped by the Gospel, \u003c\/em\u003ebestselling author and pastor Timothy Keller addresses several current discussion and conflicts about the nature of the gospel and shows how faithful preaching of the gospel leads to individual and corporate renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition contains the first section of \u003cem\u003eCenter Church \u003c\/em\u003ein an easy-to-read format with new reflections and additional essays from Timothy Keller and several other contributors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorton, Michael:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eMichael Horton (PhD) is Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Westminster Seminary in California.
