Synopsis

There are some things we would rather not talk about. There are issues we are unwilling to discuss. We consider them “off-limits,” and when they come up, we try to change the subject as quickly as possible: • Absolute truth • Heaven and hell • Miracles • Repentance • Holiness • Purity • Generosity • Race • Gay marriage • Politics But we live in a world that is too full of difficult challenges and controversial issues for us to refuse to engage. The Scriptures were given so that Christians could be “thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:17 NIV). One of those “good works” is the ability to show a sincere inquirer that God has provided wise answers and reliable guidance not only for how to get to heaven, but also for how to respond and live effectively in this confused generation. In Untouchables, Jack Hilligoss demonstrates how God’s Word never hides from any subject but, rather, handles these sensitive and intimidating topics with grace and truth. In doing so, he aims to equip the body of Christ with practical and profound Christian responses to these “untouchable” topics.

About this title

About the Author

Jack Hilligoss is a husband, father, pastor, and Christ follower. He has been a pastor for 27 years, discipling and equipping believers from small churches in Midwestern cornfields to multi-cultural churches in the inner city, to a growing and community-impacting church in Lake Wales, Florida. During that time, he has learned that people are all very much the same. They have the same questions and they need the same hope. And, he has learned, everyone needs a pastor—someone who will help them think about life; someone who will show them how to hold their lives up to the light of Scripture and see from a perspective that may give them eternal meaning in the midst of the temporal rush of life. That is Jack’s passion, and that is how he has spent his life.
