A very challenging book that offers pastors, ministers, church workers and any Christian disciple to rethink what it means to follow Jesus in today's world, and take heed of the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations. There is, in most churches right now, a predominance of a culture of maintenance that's self-referential and self-enclosed, contributing to Christianity's gradual impression of irrelevance. What Fr. James Mallon offers is to go back to the roots of the Christian kerygma and find joy again in a personal encounter with Christ, and root one's faith in a transformative religious experience that rocks the boat of ecclesial complacency and set sail towards an adventure of faith dynamism of the early church. The book offers important insights to regain the missionary identity of the Church and suggestions to restructure pastoral life in the parish, taking much insights from the Alpha Course of HTB that creates a renewed culture of invitation, dialogue and communal life within the Church.
