    About this ebook

    A new way to follow Jesus that draws on old ways of following him. Prominent progressive writer, speaker, and minister Robin Meyers proposes that the best way for the faithful to recapture the spirit of the early Christian church is to recognize that Jesus-following was - and must be again - subversive in the best sense of the word because the gospel taken seriously turns the world upside down. No matter how the church may organize itself or worship, the defining characteristic of the church of the future will be its Jesus-inspired countercultural witness.

      This called out to me from the feature rack at the library, and I refused to listen because I don't do Christianity. But it was still there the next week and I just had to read it. And I'm very glad I did. It's given me a definition of faith, “embodied trust”, that I might be able to accept. A definition of Christianity I could accept.I have a friend who's 84 years old, legally blind, lives in a retirement home. She sometimes gives voice to the idea that she's not contributing anything anymore, just taking up space, why should anyone bother. She doesn't seem to be depressed, just realistically assessing the situation. And I really don't like the framework that Western Civilization has given her to do that assessment. There is something fundamentally wrong about the idea that a person is only worthwhile as long as they are working. That we have to earn our keep, our bread, our oxygen. Who cares if a person outlives their use?! We're not just here to be used!!! But I wasn't sure what to say the last time it came up in conversation, couldn't find the words. I found them here (and then lost the page reference for an exact quote): none of us is worth anything unless all of us are worth something. Among many other big ideas that cry out to be lived out.
