Into the Mess and Other Jesus Stories

Christian Living

“In this audacious, luminous book, Debie Thomas examines gospel stories, tales made soft as cloth for many readers, and reveals their strangeness. Reading with ferocious attentiveness, she explores stories that are challenging, troubling, sometimes frightening, and always filled with invitations to a new life that is larger and more startling than most of us have imagined. . . . Every reader who seeks God should own this book—dog-eared, underlined, and committed to memory.”
