Synopsis

Do you want to be saved? It’s a question that’s asked all over the world every day. But what if that’s the wrong question? What if being saved isn’t something we desire but something that’s already been done for us? For all of humanity for all of time? What if being saved doesn't require anything of you?"What if Everyone is Saved?" explores what the Christian Church isn’t telling you and why being saved is a statement of fact for everyone on the planet, not a question to be answered. Prepare to have everything you’ve ever thought about “getting saved” challenged. Originally inspired by Rob Bell's "Love Wins", this book isn't so much a response to that book as it is an exploration of how the church has turned the message of Jesus Christ into religion and the question "Do you want to be saved?" into a sales pitch. Religion and relationship are rarely, if ever, compatible. How do we understand that Jesus died once for ALL and that no one comes to the Father apart from him outside the context of religious teaching? With each chapter framed as a question, Tim invites you to explore, ask your own questions, and consider ideas that may stretch you in ways you won't expect."What if Everyone is Saved?" draws on the author's lifetime of experience as a follower of Jesus while living and working in the Christian Church as a leader, teacher, and antagonist. Traveling internationally and leading short-term mission teams across the U.S. and to half a dozen foreign countries, stretched Tim's understanding of the Church and challenged his myopic view of culture having grown up in the Midwest United States. Whether you grew up Christian, consider yourself a Jesus follower, embrace another religion, or reject religion and faith entirely, you'll find something worth considering in these pages.
