ReviewsHauerwas is provocative, but not for provocation's sake. He calls us back to the disruptive words of Jesus, and to the church - to a community of ordinary people who are meant to learn to follow Jesus in the concreteness of our lives in a complex world. He is clear that following Jesus will always come at a cost and will disassemble most of our expectations about how our lives should turn out." -- Tish Harrison Warren For a long time, Stanley Hauerwas has been urging the followers of Christ to be "resident aliens," where the church is not trying to "take the seven mountains" of cultural influence and certainly not to found a theocracy as a political power. But neither is Hauerwas calling us into a Christian conclave as lumps of tasteless salt and bucket-covered lamps. ... In this tight, clear manifesto, the author reorients us to Jesus. He shows us how Jesus' story can be our story, and from that center, trust the ripples. A keeper. -- Clarion Journal, Hauerwas is provocative, but not for provocation's sake.

SynopsisFor decades, Stanley Hauerwas has been provoking Christians with his insistence that if they would only follow their Master, it would impact all areas of life, from the personal to the societal. The lanky Texan, whom Time magazine dubbed "America's theologian" for his zinging insights into today's ethical questions, says Christians should stop bemoaning their loss of cultural and political power. Instead, they should welcome their status as outsiders and embrace the radical alternative Jesus has had in mind for them all along. These accessible readings selected from Hauerwas's many books will introduce a timely, prophetic voice to another generation of followers of Jesus., How can we make the gospel central to our lives?
