Ringma's "magnum opus"
"Charles Ringma brings his astute theological mind, big heart for the lost, vast missional experience, and quest for a sustainable missional spirituality together in this brilliant book.
Ringma’s personal quest for a more sustainable, grace-based, Spirit and hope-inspired imagination has come to fruition in this magnum opus.
He writes with a hard-earned sense of realism about individual sin and structural evil, balanced passion for evangelism and social transformation, contemplation and action, mysticism and prophesy.
It is a tour de force.
In an increasingly precarious global situation Ringma humbly but hopefully offers a way forward for formation of Christ-like ‘lovers in a dangerous time’. Read it, take your time, if that’s what you want to be."
Gordon Preece is a pastoral and workplace missional theologian, author and Executive Director of Ethos Centre for Christianity and Society in Melbourne, Australia.
