Trade ReviewThe methodology displayed in this book provides a template for future theological reflection and commentary. It provides a lens through which to give value to often unnoticed and undervalued outcomes that flow when the church engages with seemingly unloved places. -- Ann Morisy, Community Theologian and author of the bestselling Beyond the Good Samaritan and Journeying Out on FINDING THE TREASURE
This is not a book for the theologically faint-hearted. It is deconstructive, wild, brave, and disturbing. It's the theological equivalent of a Big Dipper ride . . . This is an asset-based theology to challenge the deficit-based missiology that pervades much of the Church today. -- Adrian Newman, Church Times on Interrupting the Church's Flow by Al Barrett
Buy this book, but don't leave it on the shelf: hear, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest. -- Ann Morisy, Church Times, on Being Interrupted by Al Barrett and Ruth Harley
. . . a creative, interdisciplinary contextual missiology, which breaks new ground by incorporating a multidimensional analysis (race, class and gender) . . . an essential 'action book' for individual Christians and churches seeking to interrupt the long history of oppression(s) from, and in British churches. -- Robert Beckford, on Being Interrupted by Al Barrett and Ruth Harley
