Paradox and the Christian Faith: The words of Christ can indeed seem confusing to the uninitiated mind, to him who thinks only as the world thinks. Those who have not had a change of heart, those who have not put on the mind of Christ, how can they understand the teaching that "the last shall be first," or that "one must die to live"…? And confusion will tun to repulsion when he realizes the humility and sacrifice to which he is being called... But what of those who recognize the wisdom (and love) in Christ's words? What of those who wish to immerse themselves as deeply as possible in His grace? This book is for souls such as these. Hippie Convert: Come home, sweet hippie, the LORD is calling you away from the license you hold to so tightly and into His loving arms, where freedom is found.
