Synopsis

As believers, our walk with God is motivated by hope-not the bland, vague notion most people have, but the expectation of an exotic, pleasurable inheritance that guides us and fires our passion...or, at least, should.Ted Dekker has written an exposé on the death of pleasure within the Church. Because many of us have set aside hope and the inspired imagination that drives it, Dekker says we have been lulled into a slumber of boredom, even despondency. Our faith wanes, the joy at having been liberated fades, and we feel powerless. The Slumber of Christianity explores what robs us of happiness and how we can rediscover it and live lives that rekindle hope. The pursuit of pleasure is a gift to all humans-a function of the Creator himself, who is bent upon our happiness.It's time for Christians to reclaim our inheritance of pleasure. The Slumber of Christianity will inflame hearts toward full-fledged, mind-expanding encounters with hope, through the imagination.

Ted Dekker Spends the majority of his time writing Christian Fiction. He does that with great precision as he weaves faith into a story of myth and revealing the redemption of Christ. He did this very well in theCircle Trilogy that became a quadolgy (if that is a word lol). However the slumber of Chr......more

Goodreads review by Crystal

Very unique and interesting perspective, that highlights the importance of keeping heaven as our greatest hope and anticipation throughout our lives. He talks a bit about his childhood and his beliefs, which did help me understand his writing style more. While I did get a bit out of the book, I thin......more
