12th Annual Outreach Resource of the Year Recommendation (Missional
Church) 2014 Best Book of Missional Theology, from Byron Borger,
Hearts and Minds Bookstore The story of Christianity is a story of
incarnation-God taking on flesh and dwelling among the people he
created. God appointing and sending people as his body, his hands
and feet. Disciples of Jesus bearing the good news even as they
bear the marks of his passion. Whatever Christianity is, it is at
least a matter of flesh and blood and the ends of the earth. And
yet so much of contemporary Christian culture is rooted not in
incarnation but in escape-escape from the earth to heaven, escape
from the suffering of this world, escape even from one another.
Christianity is increasingly understood as something personal,
conceptual, interior, private, neighborless. If Jesus was God
incarnate, the church is in danger of being excarnate. Michael
Frost expertly and prophetically exposes the gap between the faith
we profess and the faith we practice. And he offers new hope for
how the church can fulfill its vocation: to be the hands and feet
of Christ to one another and to our neighbors, to the ends of the
earth and to the end of the age.
