From the back cover of Cynicism and Hope: Reclaiming Discipleship in a Postdemocratic Society:
Most Christians in the United States still tune their hope to the rhythm of the election cycle. For Reba Place Fellowship, Living Water Community Church, and these other contributors, hope is tuned to quieter things a noisy world cannot hear—things like friendship, gardening, sitting down with enemies, and ultimately, Jesus. This collection is bracing in its timeliness. (Jason Byassee, Director of the Center for Theology, Writing and Media at Duke Divinity School)
From a review of the book in July-August issue of Prism magazine:
Cynicism and Hope . . . offers a striking example of how universality can spring from particularity; while the contributions clearly belong to the US political picture of 2007 and are grounded in the story of a particular community, they delve so deeply into the drama of sin and grace revealed by that time that they succeed in bringing together the already and the not yet. (Andrew Draper, a husband, parent, neighbor, and churchgoer in Brooklyn)
