Informationen zum Autor Matt Rawle is Lead Pastor at Asbury United Methodist Church in Bossier City, Louisiana. Matt is an international speaker who loves to tell an old story in a new way, especially at the intersection of pop culture and the church. He is the author of Jesus Revealed: The I Am Statements in the Gospel of John as well as The Pop in Culture Series, which includes The Heart that Grew Three Sizes , The Faith of a Mockingbird , Hollywood Jesus , The Salvation of Doctor Who , The Redemption of Scrooge, What Makes a Hero? , and The Gift of the Nutcracker . Klappentext What Makes a Hero? offers us an image of what it looks like to be victorious over trials and temptations. Looking at pop culture heroes and others through the lens of faith, Matt Rawle shows how Jesus turned the concept of hero on its head. In keeping with his theme, "Pop in Culture," the book examines how good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, and overcoming adversity are fundamental to how Christians understand salvation. Heroes help us discern the good, fight for what's right, define identity, execute justice, spark revolution, and save lives.Rawle enters the Gospel story to tell quite a different victory story--one obtained through humility, obedience to the cross, and an empty tomb. How does Jesus redefine what it means to be a hero?This Youth Study Book takes the ideas presented in Matt Rawle's book and interprets them for young people grades 6-12.
