Zusammenfassung

In our celebrity-obsessed culture, humility is unfashionable and too often dismissed or confused with the cringing, false humility of Uriah Heep. This title shows that when genuine humility is energised by real passion, fresh and exciting light is shone on the challenge of following Jesus Christ and humility is rediscovered as a healthy virtue.

Barefoot Disciple Zusammenfassung

Barefoot Disciple: Walking the Way of Passionate Humility -- The Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book 2011 Stephen Cherry

This is the rediscovery of genuine, passionate humility as a healthy, life-giving and community-building virtue, capable of transforming our BSE (Blame Someone Else) society. In our celebrity-obsessed culture, humility is unfashionable and too often dismissed or confused with the cringing, false humility of Uriah Heep. Here the author shows that, when genuine humility is energised by real passion, fresh and exciting light is shone on the challenge of following Jesus Christ today and humility is rediscovered as a healthy, life-giving and community-building virtue. Stories and concrete examples as well as allusions to fiction, poetry and art engage the reader's imagination; and big theological ideas are articulated in a highly accessible way. The emphasis on learning from challenging experiences and on very practical application makes this a 'theology travel book', for Lent and well beyond. It powerfully synthesizes values and practices which are often disconnected.

Barefoot Disciple Bewertungen

This is a welcome book, and one chosen as the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent book. It is an easy and challenging read, and reintroduces to a modern generation teaching which has for centuries been at the heart of the monastic project. As such it will repay close attention. -- theggodbookstall.org.uk
Mentioned in Fairacres Chronicle Vol. 44 No.1
... profitable for adult Christian disciples wherever they are in their faith journey. -- Franiciscan, Vol. 23 No.3
Title mentioned in an author interview. -- Crediton Country Courier
'A theological travel book for Lent and well beyond. It powerfully synthesizes values and practices which are often disconnected.' -- The Door
'A book that nicely opens up the topic for reflection and absorption by individuals or groups... It is accessible, confident, and fertile... Lent groups will benefit from this book.' -- The Church Times
... an accessible and thought-provoking exploration of what this this 'rare and unfashionable virtue' might look like in daily life once it is let loose from the pages of the bible and hagiographies of saints... [the book] will challenge different people in different ways. -- The Pastoral Review Volume 7 Issue 6
A book which has been re-printed five times within a few months of publication, and which further carries the 'grateful' commendation of Archbishop Rowan Williams, really needs no further recommendation... this book will help all who read and follow its teaching to grow in that wisdom, a process with which the author himself has clearly been grappling and which gives this book true authority. -- Stanbrook Reviews, No.2
Stephen Cherry offers us an extended meditation on an often misunderstood and elusive virtue which yet lies at the heart of faith. -- The Expository Times 123 (8)
'Surely an unparalleled antidote to our own petty grumbling!' -- Methodist Recorder
'Stories and concrete examples engage the reader's imagination and big theological ideas are articulated in a highly accessible way. A book for lent and well beyond.' -- CRUX
