Again and again Graham Tomlin puts his finger on things I’ve struggled with both personally and professionally. He has a rare ability to make confusing things clear and complex things simple. Being Yourself pulls no punches. It gets right to the root of the Western psychosis, offering an ancient, time-tested, more hopeful alternative that rings deeply true. -- Pete Greig, 24-7 Prayer International \u0026amp; author of 'How To Pray' on 'Why Being Yourself is a Bad Idea'\u003cbr\u003eMost books about religion are boring. This one isn't. It is intriguing and provocative, speaking to our deepest concerns and heaviest questions. In beautiful prose, and with a wide range of reference, Graham Tomlin unpacks a whole world . . . and it is a spacious and attractive one. This exposition of faith in the twenty-first century arrives at a simplicity the far side of complexity. The book is a real gift. -- James Mumford, author of Vexed: Ethics beyond political tribes on 'Why Being Yourself is a Bad Idea'\u003cbr\u003eTomlin does a fine job in finding a simple structure in which weighty theological conundrums can be tackled without defence or triumph. * Church Times on 'Why Being Yourself is a Bad Idea' *\u003cbr\u003eThis book presents Christianity in a fresh way for the times. -- Winston Marshall, Mumford \u0026amp; Sons on 'Why Being Yourself is a Bad Idea'\u003cbr\u003eOne of the best, most honest, most theologically grounded and therefore most practically helpful books on evangelism to have come out in recent years. -- Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York on 'The Provocative Church'\u003cbr\u003eA refreshingly honest book from a theologian who clearly knows that most of society doesn’t think the way the church does, and wants to do something about it. * Church of England Newspaper on 'The Provocative Church' *\u003cbr\u003eHere we have a gripping (even exciting) new approach to priesthood . . . almost every page is rich with biblical, theological, historical and practical wisdom – to be read, considered, and then read again! -- Gordon Kuhrt * Anvil on 'The Widening Circle' *","brand":"SPCK Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48733501030743,"sku":"9780281081790","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780281081790.jpg?v=1720000321","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/why-being-yourself-is-a-bad-idea-and-other-countercultural-notions-9780281081790","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
