Anyone who reads this informative review should receive college credit. A lot of it. :)
The title of the book is worth the price, no doubt. Truer words were never spoken than these: Jesus changes everything. Or as the writer of the book of Revelation states it: Behold, I make all things new!
I see from the internet book archives that this author was indeed a "prodigious writer." Much going back before the era of modern word processor and keyboard. How did he find the time to record all those words?
Jesus preached and taught the Kingdom of God. And to love one another. To serve others. And that He was to have the preeminence in all spheres. These were not mere slogans but Jesus himself walked the earth to demonstrate this new way of life.
We personally have not lived up to these standards. Nor has the church.
It would be quite interesting if Stanley Hauerwas had lived to see and to analyze the present state of cultural affairs. Many of which have taken us by surprise, to say the least.
Thank you Tim Price for this valuable review. I must add that you also are a pretty keen writer. And like Stanley, you are seeking to encourage others to follow in the steps of the Son of God, wherever those steps will take us.
