<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>The most accessible Kierkegaard reader ever</strong></p> <p><strong>"In a culture awash in religious silliness, </strong> Kierkegaard's bracing metaphors expose our mediocrities and energize us with a clarified sense of what it means to follow Jesus." -<strong>Eugene Peterson, </strong> author, <em>Subversive Spirituality</em></p> <p>Provocations contains a little of everything from Kierkegaard's prodigious output: his famously cantankerous (yet wryly humorous) attacks on what he calls the "mediocre shell" of conventional Christianity, his brilliantly pithy parables, his wise (and witty) sayings.</p> <p><strong>Most significantly, it brings to a new generation</strong> a man whose writings pare away the fluff of modern spirituality to reveal the basics of the Christ-centered life: decisiveness, obedience, and recognition of the truth.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A treasure chest of powerful insights...Those who do not already know Kierkegaard will surely be led by these selections to read the whole works from which they are taken.--C. Stephen Evans, Calvin College<br><br>Kierkegaard has taught me, moved me, perplexed me, and always provoked my thinking in new directions.
