How would Jesus vote? That's the one question people ask repeatedly, and folks on both sides of the political aisle think they know the answer. Into this overwhelmingly complex political question, Adam Murrell brings a concise, compelling, and nonpartisan exploration of what God's Word has to say on a myriad of issues ranging from the role of civil government and single-issue voting to the ethics of voting and a woman's role in politics. Instituted by God isn't intended to tell you which candidate to support; rather it offers you a wholly biblically centered way of looking at candidates to help you draw your own political conclusions. This election season, don't cast an uninformed vote that fails to reflect your Christian values. Instead, learn how to apply the teachings of the Bible, your faith, and your obedience to God to your ballot. This timely, helpful, and daring book will enable you to do just that.

A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news.
