Downside Up
Buch
Did your faith evolve to a means of impeaching? Have you been a part of the damage, far-reaching? In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus says that whatever is done to the least of these brothers and sisters of mine is done to him (Matt. 25:40 NIV).

Did your faith evolve to a means of impeaching? Have you been a part of the damage, far-reaching? In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus says that whatever is done to the least of these brothers and sisters of mine is done to him (Matt. 25:40 NIV). Jesus identifies himself with the poor, the sick, the outcast, and the socially-reviled. Just as striking, Jesus puts himself at odds with the religious establishment of his day. This fact leaves many of us inside and outside the Church asking, What happened? Jesus turned everything all downside-up, Replacing the whole world's measuring cup: Some wanted the safety of self-certainty, But black-and-white rules don't set anyone free... Downside Up: A Gospel Story, Re-Dreamed is a picture book for grown ups that combines rhyme and verse with biting satire and colorful illustrations. It explores what's gone wrong in modern Christianity, and whether there is any hope left for Jesus' fearless, downside-up message of peace and love.

Über den Autor
Peter Walker is a teacher, priest and poet. His last collection The House of Being won the Local Legend national Spiritual Writing Competition in 2018. After graduating in French and Philosophy, he taught languages for many years while at the same time training for the priesthood. He is nonetheless down-to-earth, loving red wine and strong coffee, the vibrancy of the inner city and the deserted shoreline at dawn, the music of Muddy Waters and of Vaughan Williams. He is now retired - although, of course, priests never truly retire! Peter is married to Susie, with whom he has a daughter and a grandson.
