Omar Rikabi Between You and Me

Annotation

Our most personal relationships can have an impact way beyond us, influencing people and places for generations to come-even for eternity. Some letters in the New Testament are so short they're more like modern-day postcards. They share an intimacy, as between best friends, that could begin with something like, "This is just between you and me . . ." Writers like the apostle John probably didn't expect his three letters to end up in the canon of Scripture for millions to read over the next two thousand years, but here they are. And they deal with a lot of the same basic stuff we struggle with today: the perennial question about who Jesus is and how his followers should live in community with one another. In Between You and Me, Omar Rikabi takes readers on a journey through a few of these scriptural postcards-the ones so small they never get their own Bible study or sermon series-to see how things can be made and kept holy between us.
