Review Quotes

"Chris Webb is the master of holy mischief and sacred disruption. He subverts our fallacious norms by rooting us deeper in the truths of Scripture and the ways of Jesus. Your heart pounds as you read this book. It pounds because of the beautiful pictures it paints. It pounds because your hunger for an eternity of great significance is exposed. Your heart pounds because as you read Chris grabs hold of your sleeve and enthusiastically pulls you breathlessly toward your soul's sure home. We can live our eternity now, and Chris Webb's God-Soaked Life makes clear the Christ path that get us there!"

"With picture-filled prose and deep insights, Chris Webb has done it again. First he illuminated the pages of Scripture with The Fire of the Word, and now he has set aglow everyday life with the light of kingdom living. This is a beautifully written and immensely important book about living life with God."
