Produktbeschreibung

Christian Paradoxes: Notes from the Faithful Side of Chaos is a wry and insightful exploration of the hilarious and often uncomfortable gap between Christian ideals and everyday human reality. With a sharp yet compassionate eye, author Tjerk Beckstrom holds up a mirror to the modern faithful, exposing the contradictions we so easily embody. From forgiveness that comes with a detailed spreadsheet of wrongs to humility that demands an audience, this book delves into the sacred and the silly with equal measure.

Structured around thirteen core themes-including Forgiveness, Humility, Money, and Judging Others-each chapter unpacks a series of short, poignant vignettes that are all too familiar. Readers will recognize the strategic fellowship of a prayer breakfast, the aggressive benevolence of killing an enemy with kindness, and the consumerist approach to church community. It's a field guide to the unspoken rules and quiet hypocrisies of religious life, offering a chuckle of self-recognition on every page.

More than just a critique, this book is a gentle reminder that to be simultaneously justified and sinful is the human condition. It's for the saint who is also a sinner, the image-bearer who keeps forgetting whose image they bear, and anyone trying to follow Jesus while being spectacularly, hilariously human. Christian Paradoxes doesn't seek to tear down faith, but to celebrate its messy, beautiful, and paradoxical practice, inviting us to take our faith seriously without taking ourselves too seriously.
