It is a funny, sad, brutally honest retrospective, reflecting on what it has meant for him and his family to seek to live a lifetime dedicated to love and justice. The reflections in this book, subtitled The Making and Unmaking of One Improbable Minor Prophet, come in three parts--the personal, the prophetical, and the paradoxical. The personal part explores Andrews's experience of the radical, compassionate spirituality that he shares with wife, Angie, and which has shaped their way of life as a family in community with marginalized and disadvantaged groups of people. The prophetical part explores Andrews's embrace of the strange, crazy, improbable call he felt to be a prophet, which he has sought to flesh out in classic prophetic roles--as an interrogator, a protester, a practitioner, and an inspirator--in contemporary prophetic contexts characterized by poverty and violence. The paradoxical part explores Andrews's making and unmaking as a minor prophet, critically constructing and deconstructing the more confrontational aspects of the prophetic roles he has played in order to be able to practice more sensitive pastoral care.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49516766757137,"sku":"GOR013489124","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51269568069905,"sku":"NIN9781725288539","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52475926380817,"sku":"NLS9781725288539","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1725288532.jpg?v=1750800932"},{"product_id":"can-you-hear-the-heartbeat-book-dave-andrews-9780340510636","title":"Can You Hear the Heartbeat?","description":"Dave Andrews describes the radical lifestyle he and his wife have adopted in order to show God's heartbeat of love for the forgotten people in his local community, practising acceptance of people on their terms and making themselves and their home permanently open to the homeless, the abused, alcoholics and other needy.

And this plan, to be the change we want to see in the world, has been calling us all to action since Jesus spoke and Matthew wrote down what he said in the fifth chapter of his gospel. While most of us are at least familiar with the Beatitudes, few of us have reflected as deeply on their life-changing, world-transforming potential as Dave Andrews has.

How does one make sense of it? Dave Andrews has meditated long and hard on what this most mysterious and beautiful of religious beliefs means, not just at a theoretical or speculative level, but also at a practical, down-to-earth level. It's an indispensable paradigm for living together in a cruel, violent and lonely world. -Chris Marshall, St. John's Senior Lecturer in Christian Theology, Religious Studies Department, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Dave Andrews is one of Australia's most innovative community workers. His vision for social change, however, comes out of a well-articulated theological vision. Dave clearly demonstrates that Jesus' vision of the in-breaking reign of God rooted in Trinitarian theology can be the inspirational centre for contemporary community work. This challenging piece of integrated writing can be 'a guide to all who seek to bring the shalom of God to all the places of pain and injustice in our world.' -Charles Ringma, Professor Emeritus, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada When I met Dave Andrews, I could feel the fire burning in him.

First, seek theological insight that can guide our practice. In Navigating the Meanings of Being a Christian, Mark Deleaney invites us on his journey of theological reflection twenty years after his certainties were shaken by a life-changing encounter in an Indian slum. In Evangelism in a Pluralist Society, Ross Farley applies his experience of evangelism in sensitive contexts to a careful review of evangelism in the New Testament and finds that what we call evangelism bears little relationship to the Gospel and Acts. On the subject of HIV epidemics, Greg Manning and Dave Andrews have joined the struggle to reduce HIV infection rates and witnessed the stigmatization of vulnerable people based on misapplied Christian moral teaching. In Supporting HIV Prevention as People of Faith, they consider the Sermon on the Mount as a valuable framework for dealing sensitively and effectively with people vulnerable to HIV infection. Second, critically reflect on possible distortions that come from our own perspectives. In his essay Liberation Theologians Speak to Evangelicals, Charles Ringma shows how Liberation Theologians can shed light on the inadequacies of the evangelical movement in its perspective on God's love for the poor. Helen Beazley's essay Antidote for a Poisoned Planet? examines whether stewardship--the dominant framework informing evangelical perspectives on the environment--can alone radically reorient Christians in their relationship to creation so necessary for its renewal. Third, look for the challenges in the Bible that critique our current orientations and call us to be reconverted. In An Evangelical Approach to Interfaith Engagement, Dave Andrews takes one of our most precious articles of exclusive faith, Jesus is the Way, and makes it a framework for inclusive interfaith dialogue by exploring the Way that Jesus in the Gospels advocated engaging with people from other traditions and religions. In Australia--Whose Land? Peter Adams allows himself to be utterly transformed by the Bible's clear ethical teaching, which, he convincingly argues, must be applied in all its fullness to the injustice of Europeans towards indigenous Australians.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52584127168785,"sku":"NLS9781610978545","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781610978545.jpg?v=1761049113"},{"product_id":"learnings-book-dave-andrews-9781610978538","title":"Learnings","description":"Endorsements: The bits and pieces people have written for this book represent a beautiful multicolored, multilayered mosaic of lessons they have learned about living life together through their association with the Waiters Union.

In The Jihad Of Jesus, Dave Andrews argues that while this inter-communal conflict is endemic, it is not inevitable. Depending on our understanding, our religions can be either a source of escalating conflict or a resource for overcoming inter-communal conflict; and for our religions to be a resource for overcoming conflict, we need to understand the heart of all true religion as open-hearted compassionate spirituality. In the light of an open-hearted compassionate spirituality, we can reclaim the word jihad from extremists who have (mis)appropriated it as a call to holy war, and reframe it, in truly Qur'anic terms, as a sacred nonviolent struggle for justice; and we can reconsider Jesus, as he is in the Gospels, not as a poster boy for Christians fighting crusades against Muslims, but as a strong-but-gentle Messianic figure who can bring Christians and Muslims together. As this book shows, many Christians and Muslims have found Isa (Jesus) and the Bismillah (celebrating the mercy, grace, and compassion of God) as common ground upon which they can stand and work for the common good. The Jihad of Jesus is a handbook for reconciliation and action: a do-it-yourself guide for all Christians and Muslims who want to move beyond the clash of civilizations, join the jihad of Jesus, and struggle for justice and peace nonviolently side by side.

Mike Riddell - Prominent Christian Pastor, Activist and Author of Godzone and Sacred Journey - Spiritual Wisdom for Times of Transition. 'Things I (have been) thinking, but had been afraid to say out loud, Dave (has been) saying boldly. Ideas I (have been) tentatively considering, he has already been living for years. I've seen the beautiful things he has been doing in a particularly challenging neighborhood. You'll see in Dave's writings that he is highly knowledgeable, not only from an academic standpoint, but also from a grass-roots, experiential level.
