In this stirring book of spiritual formation, a pastor asks: What if the abundant life lies in finding what''s been lost, uncovering what is hidden, and learning to hope in what is small? The Christian industrial complex teaches us that whatever is centered, celebrated, and large is a movement of God, and that Jesus is at work in existing structures. So why are we surprised that many churches are obsessed with power, size, and reputation--and that people are leaving them in droves?Jesus warned us not to expect his reign to resemble the empire. He knew it would be hard for us to recognize true faithfulness, so he gave us sacred stories. In parables we learn of lost coins and sheep and people being found, of hidden treasure being uncovered, and of small and weak things that heal and transform. In the tradition of clergy writers like Barbara Brown Taylor and Gregory Boyle, pastor Kate Murphy excavates the wisdom of Jesus''s parables. She tells stories of failures in the dominant church, of broken places within herself, and of an exploding watermelon that sends her over the edge.
