Bound Together: How We Are Tied to Others in Good and Bad Choices

“'The rope of the gospel is stronger than the rope of original sin.' With these and many other helpful words, author Chris Brauns explores a dimension of life we all crave—communal ties to God, others, and our Savior. I recommend this book to those who see themselves as having these meaningful and enriching ties and those who wish they did. Both will profit from Chris's deep dive into truth—a truth our culture, churches, and selves so desperately need.”

“Chris Brauns has done a masterful job of explaining the truth and its implications of the principle of solidarity—what he calls 'the principle of the rope.' His treatment of all humanity's solidarity with Adam in his sin and the solidarity of all believers with Christ is especially helpful, but the entire book is a masterpiece that will help us understand some of the interpersonal relationships we deal with every day. I highly commend Bound Together.

“No man is an island. But it takes a bold writer to try to convince our hype individualistic age. Chris Brauns sketches out a recovery plan informed by God's Word that will help us rebuild the relations so vital to human flourishing and so often forsaken today.”

“In Bound Together, Chris Brauns cleverly unpacks two key theological concepts—union with Christ, and original sin—and manages to explain them in a way that any reader can understand. Highly recommended.”
