Dirty God / by Moore, Johnnie,1983-(CARDINAL)352167;
Chishti's roses -- Talking smack to fake gods -- The God with dirty hands -- Jesus made a mess of things -- Jesus and the rejects -- Grace sleeps with truth -- Mayberry, tsunamis, and clean again -- Christians should be happy, for God's sake -- How to miss the grace of God -- What's good about death -- What to do when terrorists kill your spouse -- Gladly strange -- God might want you to fail your test -- Cracking Pandora's box -- A grace starved planet -- Grace in the trenches -- How to perform miracles -- What could happen if grace covered the earth.In Dirty God: Jesus in the Trenches, Johnnie Moore draws on both Scripture and his extensive experience with other cultures and religions to show how the God of the Bible is unique in his willingness to be near us in all of our messiness. Moore outlines the central importance of the doctrine of grace while introducing readers to a humble and human Jesus who reaches out to us at our worst and pulls us up to our best. Grace, Moore argues, is something that is both gotten and given, and the two-part structure of the book allows readers to explore both of these dynamics. By offering hope rather than condemnation and showing the practical applications of grace in today's world, Dirty God will appeal to both the committed Christian and the spiritual seeker looking for a more authentic faith.
