Infos

Christ Alive is a book of fifty-two lessons for every week of the year that takes the reader on a clever, humorous, roller-coaster voyage of discovery, where Christ is consistently found in places where we might least expect or want. From Vladimir Putin to prisons, from psychopaths to the homeless, with a little visit to our mums, dads, and the seven deadly sins along the way, the breadth of the author's professional experience is unrivalled. Accessing our human status-anxiety, the "nothing" people, criminal behaviors, and much, much more, there is a lesson included for every week of the year, life lessons sure to have readers gripped with God at their center. The author unashamedly confronts our modern-day struggles and judgment of each other, faith, and God and tackles these topics from his spiritual, academic, and practical experience. Some of the topics are light, others are dark, but all have one core conclusion at their heart. Like The Beatles, the author too concludes that love is all we need. Then again, as he says, Christ has been saying this all along. It's just that perhaps we haven't been listening.
