God Is Stranger: The Surprising Power of Hospitality
Krish Kandiah
Formats & Editions
With huge marches in central London, demonstrations outside asylum hotels and opinion polls showing that immigration is one of the most important electoral issues for the majority of the population, churches and individual Christians are grappling with how to respond.
The call to recognise God in the stranger has never been more relevant.
God Is Stranger strips us of our comfortable assumptions about God and invites us to look afresh at his character. When Abraham welcomes three men for dinner, he ends up pleading for the life of a city. When Jacob meets God by the river, they end up in a fight. And when two forlorn disciples meet a stranger on the road, their lives are turned upside down. God Is Stranger challenges us to lay down our expectations of God and delight in the power that is proven by his very strangeness.
'Be warned: this book could seriously affect your view of yourself, of the world and of God - I highly recommend it to you!' PAULA GOODER, ST PAUL'S CATHEDRAL
'An important and timely book from someone who lives out its message.' PETE GREIG, 24-7 PRAYER INTERNATIONAL

Praise for God Is Stranger: The Surprising Power of Hospitality
-
Praise for Paradoxology: These may seem like heavy theological ideas, yet the author approaches his theme in what is an easily read way through leading characters of the bible from Abraham to Paul. He challenges his readers to consider not only those passages that give us comfort, but also those "dark sayings" which so often perturb people. - The Irish CatholicPraise for Paradoxology: Allow your mind to test your conclusions about the Bible. Like Thomas in the Easter Story, you might find that exploring doubts and questions will bring you to clearer vision. - Inspire MagazinePraise for Paradoxology: Amazing...I really loved it. Ths book is a real eye-opener that makes you look at the Bible in a different way. - Families First Magazine
