Paradoxy: Creating Christian Community Beyond Us & Them
PDF, $0.00Paperback, $0.00Kindle, $4.99

Has the divisiveness of the last four years separated your congregation into factions?

Has the incivility of this political season driven your people apart?

Are you and your congregation ready to explore a way of being a faith community in which unity does not depend on uniformity? 

Paradoxy: Creating Christian Community Beyond Us and Them provides answers to these questions and more. I wrote Paradoxy for faith leaders and congregations to demonstrate that getting to US does not require a THEM.

Paradoxy describes a radical middle way of honest, compassionate, and respectful dialogue between people who disagree, that transform conflict into an appreciation of difference, and shows congregations how to get there.

Paradoxy is designed for use for for small group study, conflict transformation dialogue, faith leader education, and more.

Praise for Paradoxy:

Again this year, literally tons of new books will be published – shelves, libraries, trucks, dumpsters full – and most among them won’t carry a fraction of the substance this book holds. A bunch of them will become big sellers too, even though they don’t hold a candle – in terms of content or readability – to this one.There are many reasons for this paradox, including this: too many people want simple, easy, quick, and formulaic answers to the problems they face, and those books deliver what the customer wants:  information that is simple, easy, quick, and formulaic. But those readers will eventually discover that formulaic answers don’t serve. They don’t match the complexities and unpredictabilities of the real world like this book does. That’s why I know you’re in for something better with this book.Brian McLaren, author & speaker
Paradoxy…opened my eyes to the beauty of mystery and taught me how much I needed it in my faith. It challenged me to expand my definition of community and to continually seek people who didn’t look like me, love like me, vote like me or live like me. Their experiences of Jesus would help me to see a fuller picture of him… One of the few books to most impact my faith. Thank you!Liz Jones, teacher & Christ follower
