Description
In the years since leaving local church ministry, Mike Cosper devoted an enormous amount of time and resources to examining the church’s often troubled witness, its ongoing crisis of leadership, and the epidemic of narcissism, abuse, and cover-up that has continued to emerge year after year. This book is about his journey both before and undergirding that work—the shattering of dreams and the grace that restored a broken faith in the aftermath. It’s a story about grace leading him home when he thought all was lost.
Taken together, his encounters with Peter, Elijah, and Jesus connected to indelible images from his time in Israel and formed a new spiritual landscape in his mind, one with enough gravity to draw his feet back to solid ground. His hope is that as he tells this story you might find echoes of your own. If you’re in the wilderness, you might find that though the territory is a mystery, you are far from alone.
