Whether you're a believer or not, Flourishing on the Edge of Faith will give you the shameless courage necessary to stand for peace." Dr. Alex de Waal, Executive Director, The World Peace Foundation "This book is subtle and radical? If you open your heart enough, it will introduce you to a new worldview, and maybe even change your world." Eboo Patel, Founder and President, Interfaith America"Flourishing's fresh, blazing, Jesus-intoxicated spiritual vision can speak to everyone. Andrew is one of the most inspired, and inspiring, Christian thinkers and practitioners that I know anywhere in the world." Rev. Dr. David Gushee, past President, The American Academy of Religion and The Society of Christian Ethics"I am an atheist, would never dream of praying, and believe that religion has wrought much evil in the world. But Flourishing on the Edge of Faith embodies the kind of Christianity that I do not hesitate to get behind." David Livingstone Smith, author of On Inhumanity: Dehumanization and How to Resist It"Flourishing on the Edge of Faith is a guidebook for the soul."
