Nadia Bolz-Weber co-founded a Lutheran church in downtown Denver, Colorado. Her life story itself is interesting, but this book tells the stories of her parishioners. Most of these people do not fit the traditional mold of a “Christian saint” yet have life experiences that integrate with the Christian Gospel. Yet she finds God’s touch in each one of them. Therefore, she writes openly about how they have affected her and taught her.
Nadia’s central point is that American Christianity has restricted itself from the diversity of modern human beings. It has made itself into a system of morals instead of a tale of freedom and grace. She expresses these narratives and her own narrative in a humorous, curse-filled, yet hopeful demeanor that’s real and approachable. Her salty voice and theological sobriety deserve a fair, reflective hearing. You, too, might find more of God in all the wrong people.
