Synopsis

How do you live out your faith when everything is changing so fast? To those filled with anxiety, fear, and pessimism, Terry Biddington turns the question on its head: How could you possibly live out your faith if the times were not changing? After all, God is all about creativity; creation is all about wonder; the Gospel is all about the unexpected. And the Christian church is, or should be, all about improvising to the tune of hope, personified in the dance of one Jesus of Nazareth. It's risky. It's difficult. It's deep into the life of God.

Here is a demand for risk taking discipleship which finds its roots in Scripture. .. It will provide a rich resource for study groups and individuals seeking a new direction for their faith. --Bishop Stephen Lowe, former Bishop for Urban Life and Faith, UK

By exploring a series of biblical stories to powerfully illuminate our present condition he helps us imagine a truly risky, realistic, and hope-filled discipleship today. --Rev. Dr. Chris Jenkins, Cathlic Priest and Psychotherapist
