Timothy Radcliffe argues we must show how everything we believe is an invitation to live fully. God says: I put before you life and death: choose life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnyone who understands the beauty and messiness of human life--novelists, poets, filmmakers and so on--can be our allies, whether they believe or not. The challenge is not today's secularism but its banality.\u003cbr\u003eWe accompany the disciples as they struggle to understand this strange man who heals, casts out demons and offers endless forgiveness. In the face of death, he teaches them what it means to be alive in God. Then he embraces all that afflicts and crushes humanity. Finally, Radcliffe explores what it means for us to be alive spiritually, physically, sacramentally, justly and prayerfully. The result is a compelling new understanding of the words of Jesus: I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Continuum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472970206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Timothy Radcliffe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36652307972252,"sku":"9781472970206","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9a8350f9-e4f8-45e8-9bcf-449af222cc10.jpg?v=1603879569","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/alive-in-god-a-christian-imagination-9781472970206","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
