Description:

Now, in the dark before the dawn, redemption is at work. The invitation to become a Christian is not the offer of an escape from the chaos of our wilderness world. It is the opportunity to play a role in the greatest story ever told. In the 16 short chapters of this book the reader will encounter the lives of rogues, villains, heroes, lovers, prophets, warriors, pacifists and songsmiths. Each is part of a pageant winding its way through history from the first spark of creation to us today. Drawing inspiration from sources as diverse as the music of U2 and the writings of Karl Barth, Redeeming Creatures asks how we can join in God's mission of redemption.
