BOOK SUMMARY
One-Trick Pony is a wild and winding journey into the heart and soul of Christianity. These unexpected stories take you down a well-worn path to a familiar faith.
Enter the cockpit of a fighter jet as you consider how to maneuver in the spiritual dimension. Uncover God's “signature style” embedded in the universe. Gasp in wonder at the simple complexity of the Golden Rule and subtle brilliance of the Great Commission. Recognize your own struggle with a selfish nature as you meet “Brilliant Ape” and “Ghost in the Machine”. As you are drawn into each story, you will be both enticed and provoked.
~ We are on a treasure hunt--but may not realize it.
~ Words about truth--are not truth itself.
~ Sacrificial love--is the ultimate superpower.
~ Jesus Christ--is a One-Trick Pony.
Contemplative, evangelical, orthodox, and revolutionary, One-Trick Pony is a fresh, inviting, and personal look at the answer to an age-old question: What does it mean to follow Jesus Christ? The answer woven throughout is the answer of Jesus in Matthew 7, Augustine in Confessions, Melanchthon in Loci Communes, and Chesterson in Orthodoxy.
One-Trick Pony presents a convincing case for a stunning Christian life that begins where the very best of our human nature falls short.
