Shown Approved: Philadelphian Christianity and Jesus' Letter to the Church
What does Jesus value and seek in believers' hearts? In the midst of turbulent current events, what do flourishing, faithful individuals and church groups look like, and how can we personally pursue a more meaningful, intentional Christian lifestyle that pleases the Lord and anticipates Jesus' imminent return for his Bride? Addressing these questions and others through a scriptural lens of hands-on application, Shown Approved walks readers through Jesus' letter to the ancient church of Philadelphia in Rev 3. One of only two positive role models in Rev 2-3, Philadelphia is a Christ-first, Christ-focused example for believers today. Applying Jesus' commendation of Philadelphian Christianity as a call to action and a guide to bold, abundant life, Shown Approved offers encouragement and direction in an increasingly confused culture, connects end-times prophecies to daily living, and serves as a roadmap for healthy, humble, and mission-minded faith.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Shown Approved is another masterpiece by Dr. ‘Cara’ Polsley, weaving together her vast knowledge of biblical history, her amazing grasp of the truth of Scripture, and her love for Jesus and those she coins as ‘Philadelphian Christians.’ This is a fresh look at Jesus’ letter to the church at Philadelphia found in Rev 3:7–13. Journey with Dr. Cara as she reveals Jesus’ heart for them and for us as budding Philadelphian Christians.”

—John W. Morden, transitional interim pastor, Next Step Church Services



“Three decades of global ministry have resulted in contacts with thousands of people. Without question, Dr. Cara Polsley impresses me as one of the most inspiring and insightful communicators whose work I have had the privilege of reading. Her most recent book, Shown Approved, is a powerful resource for all who seek truth and who are serious about their personal growth in Christ.

Polsley’s research is as convicting as it is informative. Even if you have been a Christian believer for years, her presentation of ‘Philadelphian Christianity’ will inspire your heart and equip your mind in biblical truth. Experience the book Shown Approved and one whose research is a gift to the twenty-first-century church, Dr. Cara Polsley.”

—Alex McFarland, best-selling author, educator, and broadcaster
