Talk the talk and walk the walk.The challenge of the Christian life is learning to talk Christian. Somebody has got to tell us, give us the words that open the door to the faith called Christian.

The opening segment on Abortion is itself worth the price of the book! Consider these gems: On the Cross: The cross is a mirror that reflects who we really are as well as a window where we are given a privileged look into the heart of who God is. On Sanctification: The Gospels depict the disciples on a continual road trip. They journey, not only step-by-step closer to Jerusalem but also day-by day closer to Christ, that is, sanctification. --Mike Lowry, Resident Bishop of the Central Texas Conference of The United Methodist ChurchGod Turned Toward Us: The ABCs of Christian Faith is no ordinary book about Christian beliefs and practices. Rather, it is a sometimes jarring, always interesting, consistently insightful, and persistently provocative invitation to talk the talk and walk the walk of Christian discipleship. Addressing topics from A (Abortion) to Z (Zaccheus), Bishop Willimon prods us to listen more attentively to the God who continues to speak amid the confusion and turmoil of our times. This is a valuable resource for individuals and groups who genuinely want to hear a word from the Lord.--Kenneth Carder, Retired Bishop of The United Methodist Church
