Inhaltsangabe

For those of you who have come here feeling lost, I have good news for you. For those of you who have come here willing to get lost, I have even better news. The good news is "fear not." The God we worship specializes in finding lost people. (from chapter 2)

I would like to invite you to do the most difficult thing that can he asked of our culture, and that is to do nothing. I invite you to approach this night with open hands and hearts and do nothing. (from chapter 5, Christmas Eve)

I bring you good news of deep joy in a shallow world. No matter how many fears and failures you bring to this place... no matter how difficult it has been to get through an average day... no matter what... God is leading us to deep joy that is eternal in a world that is focused on entertainment. (from chapter 10)
