Surprise the World! Michael Frost
10 Favorite Lines:
Acts of philanthropy by Christians today are relatively commonplace, so they don’t surprise the world… Neither does living a fine, upstanding, middle-class lifestyle in the suburbs, for what that’s worth.
…those of us who are not gifted evangelists need to foster habits in our lives that draw us out into the lives of unbelievers and invite the kinds of questions that lead to evangelistic sharing.

Many teens recognize that they and their friends and family are increasingly tethered to their electronic gadgets and the substantial number express a desire to disconnect sometimes. A recent study found that 41% of teens describe themselves as addicted to their phones; 43% with that they could unplug; and more than a third wish they could go back to a time when there was no Facebook. Some teens get frustrated by how attached their friends and parents are to their own devices. For example, 28% of those whose parents have a mobile device say they consider their parents addicted to their gadgets and 21% of all teens say they wish their parents spent less time with their cellphones and other devices. Nearly half, 45% of teens, say they sometimes get frustrated with their friends for texting, surfing the internet, or checking their social networking sites while they're hanging out together.

Review: Incarnate
Incarnate: The Body of Christ in an Age of Disengagement, Michael Frost. Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 2014.
