Stephen Bevans
"The gospel imaged as a storm presents a disturbing but ultimately
life-giving image of God's -- and the church's -- missional
presence in our world. Like the raging wind and pounding rain of a
summer storm, God's good news is a power that sweeps away dead
branches of faith and floods cracked foundations of institutions.
At the same time, though, it brings new freshness into our heavy,
stagnant lives. The authors of this book do not mince words. If the
church is to change it needs this disturbing gospel to cleanse it
and give it life." Missionalia
"Deals effectively with important issues and fundamentally
challenges the church to become a missional church."
