Publisher's Description
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. Challenging and engaging, Dirty God is sure to establish Johnnie Moore as an emerging voice for Millennial and Gen-X evangelicals for years to come.
Endorsements (26)
“It’s rare for an author to be able to write well about something old, but Dirty God has remarkably given us ‘grace’ anew. This book is fresh, and filled with fascinating stories. It is theological, but entirely approachable. This is one you can’t put down, and it will change you, it really will.”
“Christians must recognize their dependency on the undeserved, freely given grace of God, not only for salvation but for meeting the challenges of life. Johnnie Moore challenges our tendency to be presumptuous recipients of God’s grace. Dirty God reminds us of the cost to God in granting us love and mercy. Through this convicting and articulate duo of stories and biblical truth, you will be stirred to be a channel of God’s grace to a lost and hurting world.”
“As a champion for children in poverty for over thirty years, I encourage you to read this book. Johnnie reminds us that grace is both the most accessible and powerful gift a person has at their disposal. The vision of grace described in Dirty God has the potential to change the world.”

“I love Johnnie Moore’s new book, Dirty God. Johnnie does us a favor by bringing us back to basics: the Cross of Christ changed everything! God got AUTHOR OF TRUE RELIGION: TAKING PIECES OF HEAVEN TO PLACES OF HELL ON EARTH AND GOD CAN’T SLEEP “I don’t know a better communicator than Johnnie Moore. His speaking and writing is practical, interesting, and truly transformational. Dirty God is his best work yet. Truly an amazing book.”
“In Dirty God, Johnnie Moore powerfully weaves compelling theological truth with rich imagery and captivating stories to move his readers to a deeper understanding of the profound implications of God’s grace. He somehow does this in a way that is inviting to the skeptic, yet challenging to the believer; which leads me to heartily recommend this book!”
“Rarely has someone been able to write on such a profound topic in such an accessible way. Johnnie is a master storyteller, and in Dirty God he strikes the chord of grace for a new generation. This book is one of those books that people will talk about for a long time.”
