SummaryEveryone's in this thing for themselves. The entertainment world. The business world. The political world. And, sadly, even the religious world. More and more, the Church is buying into a self-absorbed faith, pursuing health, wealth and spiritual high-fives at the expense of the Gospel we're supposed to be pursuing. God's Gravity: Turning the Tables on Me-First Faith, by Craig Borlase, deconstructs the myth of success that infects today's Christians. Drawing from the story of Job -a guy who does everything right and still sees his life fall to pieces- Borlase challenges a new generation of Christians to disavow the so-called "prosperity gospel," rediscover the importance of sacrifi ce and embrace the vital connection between social justice and a life of authentic religion. In a culture where even Christians are adopting values contradictory to the ethics of Jesus, God's Gravity dares us to turn our lives upside down? and live them the right way up.About the AuthorCraig Borlase is the author of The Naked Christian (Relevant Books).
