Summary

Everyone'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.
