Många av oss skulle vilja leva e mer utgivande liv där Jesu kärlek får märkas bland människor omkring oss. Ofast blir det inte av för att vi inte riktigt vet hur, och sällan upplever att vi får naturliga tillfällen till det. Den här boken inspirerar till en vardag där enkla vanor skapar möjligheter för oss att genom våra liv visa på Jesus och hans kärlek. Det jag uppskattar med »Överraska världen« är att den kopplar ihop vår efterföljelse med några enkla, bibliska och vardagligt tillämpbara vanor. Våra vanor formar våra liv. Låt denna bok få inspirera dina vanor! Johan Valinder, föreståndare och pastor, Aspnäskyrkan Michael Frost är en tongivande röst inom den missionella rörelsen – en rörelse som vill stötta församlingar att präglas mer av mission. Han är även författare till över ett dussin böcker, medgrundare till det internationella nätverket Forge Mission Training och församlingsgrundare.

Take a faith of leap and become the good-news person God created you to be.In a volatile world, it's tempting to cling to safety and control whenever we can. But when we apply this to our lives as disciples, we miss the simple fact that faith involves risk.In this revised edition of The Faith of Leap, Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch urge a new generation to break free from the constraints of a risk-averse Christianity, embrace the unknown, and rediscover the exhilarating adventure of following Jesus. With a blend of theological reflection, practical guidance, and inspiring stories, this book equips believers to shake off mediocrity and become communal, courageous missional disciples who are ready to shape the future of the church and impact their communities.

In an ever-changing world, how can we learn from the past to discern the shape of mission today?In our contemporary culture, the mission of God can seem elusive and hard to define.

OUR CHURCHES NEED REJESUSING LIKE NEVER BEFORE.We live in a fractured and divided world. Nationalism and political extremism are rife in the church, scandals involving well-known Christian leaders are on the rise, and ideologies and idolatries abound.

Top World Guild Awards Best Nonfiction Book of the Year What if our neighbors were our friends? When Lynda MacGibbon moved from a small city in eastern Canada to a high-rise apartment in Toronto, she decided to follow Jesus' famous commandment to "love your neighbor" a bit more literally. In the past, she would have looked first for friends at her new job or her new church. This time, though, she decided to look for friends among the strangers who shared her apartment building—her actual neighbors in her new "vertical neighborhood." In this charming and relatable memoir, MacGibbon tells the story of the community that took shape as neighbors said yes to weekly dinners and a writing group, Christmas morning brunch and even a Bible study. It's a story of the simple, everyday risk of reaching out with love to those around us, and of the beauty and messiness of real human relationships. It's a story of the risks—and rewards—of taking Jesus at his word.
