Dave Andrews Book order

The book offers a deeply personal exploration of Dave Andrews's journey toward a life of love and justice, shared with his wife, Angie, within marginalized communities. It is divided into three parts: the personal, detailing their radical spirituality; the prophetical, examining his unconventional call to prophecy through various roles; and the paradoxical, where he reflects on the complexities of being a minor prophet, balancing confrontation with compassionate pastoral care. The narrative is both humorous and poignant, capturing the essence of his experiences.

Meet Tommy Sherwin. He's just been out of high school a few months and has no clear direction where his life is going as he starts junior college and works at a restaurant. Soon after his friend Chris gets his first car, they set out on lots of late-night antics. Here he tells the story of their various misadventures, the trouble they flirt with, the toils of fast-food work and the young ladies who break his heart. Ah, the first years of adulthood.

We are caught up in the cycle of so-called “holy wars.” In The Jihad Of Jesus, Dave Andrews argues that while this inter-communal conflict is endemic, it is not inevitable. Depending on our understanding, our religions can be either a source of escalating conflict or a resource for overcoming inter-communal conflict; and for our religions to be a resource for overcoming conflict, we need to understand the heart of all true religion as open-hearted compassionate spirituality. In the light of an open-hearted compassionate spirituality, we can reclaim the word “jihad” from extremists who have (mis)appropriated it as call to “holy war,” and reframe it, in truly Qur'anic terms, as a “sacred nonviolent struggle for justice”; and we can reconsider Jesus, as he is in the Gospels, not as a poster boy for Christians fighting crusades against Muslims, but as “a strong-but-gentle Messianic figure” who can bring Christians and Muslims together. As this book shows, many Christians and Muslims have found Isa (Jesus) and the Bismillah (celebrating the mercy, grace, and compassion of God) as common ground upon which they can stand and work for the common good. The Jihad of Jesus is a handbook for reconciliation and action: a do-it-yourself guide for all Christians and Muslims who want to move beyond the “clash of civilizations,” join the jihad of Jesus, and struggle for justice and peace nonviolently side by side.

Focusing on the darker aspects of Christian history, the author presents a critical examination of past events while highlighting Jesus' radical vision for transformative personal and community renewal. Through this exploration, the book challenges conventional interpretations and encourages a reimagining of faith that aligns with a more profound commitment to social justice and community engagement.

Exploring the contrast between Jesus Christ's teachings of love, peace, and justice and the troubling history of the Christian religion, this book delves into the complexities of faith and morality. It examines how the ideals of compassion have often been overshadowed by various forms of wrongdoing throughout history, prompting a critical reflection on the true essence of Christianity and its impact on society.

Many of us ask not how but if we can truly embody the Be-Attitudes in a world characterized by poverty and violence. This title begins with the kingdom, or 'kindom', Jesus talked about and shows readers how the kingdom of heaven can indeed come on earth as it is in heaven - through us.
