The chapters hint at some of the themes: ?Caution!? offers a new way of celebrating the Gospel. ?Scalps for Jesus? takes aim at evangelism practices. ?The Rush Hour of the Gods? challenges us to confront reality. ?The ?Yuck? Factor? has helped congregations and individuals come to terms with gender orientation. ?The Lone Ranger Rides Again'and Again? is a cautionary tale of ministry. You are invited to middle class parishes, and to jungle villages without electricity or running water. In these places and more you will find a church at work and at play, in struggle, joy, and in hope.
