Description
Book Synopsis''So much of the reporting of the Middle East at the moment reflects war and human misery; it''s inspiring to find, in this thoughtful and engaging book, a message of hope from what Fr Nadim calls that region of the world that God chose to live in when he took human form''
Edward Stourton
''The ultimate question of this book is, why does it matter to me, a human being, to know the culture of God, and what impact should that have on my own life and existence? The culture of God is the antithesis of the culture of the Pharisees - yet again and again we fall into the trap of condemning or excluding others. Understanding the culture of God helps us to uncover God''s image within us, a shining jewel buried deep under the dirt of our selfishness and greed, and helps us to shine as God intends us to, re-forming our relationships with God and with each other in our amazingly diverse world.''

The Culture of God offered me a fresh perspective on very familiar Gospel stories, revealing in new ways how counter cultural Jesus was. It was also very inspiring to hear the stories and reflections of Nassar, who has experienced much conflict throughout his life and still works for peace through the hope and faith he finds in God, revealed in Jesus. * Reform *
What comes across from
this book is Nadim Nassar's
deep spirituality and love of
God. It is a fascinating and
thought-provoking book.
