Story4.5 out of 5 stars 26
Christianity is a surprising religion. It has changed the world in remarkable ways throughout history simply through Christians living out their faith. More recently, we've become afraid of a habituated Christianity, thinking that routines will rob our faith of its vitality. The net effect is that we've replaced the habits that surprise the world with habits that mimic the world―and both we and the world suffer for it.

With the story of her conversion as a backdrop, Rosaria Butterfield invites us into her home to show us how God can use “radical, ordinary hospitality” to bring the Gospel to our lost friends and neighbors. Such hospitality sees our homes as not our own but as God’s tools for the furtherance of his kingdom as we welcome those who look, think, believe, and act differently from us into our everyday, sometimes messy lives - helping them see what true Christian faith really looks like.

If we’re honest, no one really cares about theology unless it reveals a gut-level view of God’s presence. According to pastor and ministry leader Hugh Halter, only the incarnational power of Jesus satisfies what we truly crave, and once we taste it, we’re never the same. God understands how hard it is to be human, and the incarnation - God with us - enables us to be fully alive. With refreshing, raw candor, Flesh reveals the faith we all long to experience - one based on the power of Christ in the daily grind of work, home, school, and life.

In this book, award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us. We might not realize the ways our hearts are being taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. Smith helps listeners recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices.

In The Day the Revolution Began, N. T. Wright once again challenges commonly held Christian beliefs, as he did in Surprised by Hope. Demonstrating the rigorous intellect and breathtaking knowledge that have long defined his work, Wright argues that Jesus' death on the cross was not only to absolve us of our sins, it was actually the beginning of a revolution commissioning the Christian faithful to a new vocation - a royal priesthood responsible for restoring and reconciling all of God's creation.

Discipleship is costly. Are we willing to critique and even challenge much we've been taught for the sake of the kingdom? For this is the radical nature of the discipleship to which Jesus calls us. He did not allow the outside culture to hold him captive; instead he established the kingdom of God and turned the world on its head. Jesus was untamed, and he calls his church to be the same.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19
The church is on the verge of some tremendous changes. Contemporary church growth, despite its many blessings to believers, has failed to stem the decline of Christianity in the West. These times require a different kind of church - a church where every person is living a mission-sent life. The Bible uses the word apostles for Jesus' followers - that is, people sent on Jesus' behalf. In every existing form of the contemporary church - from the mega to the multi to the incarnational - some churches have taken the idea of apostolic mission seriously.
Publisher's Summary
The story of Christianity is a story of incarnation - God taking on flesh and dwelling among the people he created. God appointing and sending people as his body, his hands and feet. Disciples of Jesus bearing the good news even as they bear the marks of his passion. Whatever Christianity is, it is at least a matter of flesh and blood and the ends of the earth. And yet so much of contemporary Christian culture is rooted not in incarnation but in escape - escape from the earth to heaven, escape from the suffering of this world, escape even from one another.
Christianity is increasingly understood as something personal, conceptual, interior, private, neighbor-less. If Jesus was God incarnate, the church is in danger of being excarnate. Michael Frost expertly and prophetically exposes the gap between the faith we profess and the faith we practice. And he offers new hope for how the church can fulfill its vocation: to be the hands and feet of Christ to one another and to our neighbors, to the ends of the earth and to the end of the age.

A Timely Call To Embodied Faith
Where does Incarnate rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
"Incarnate" is an excellent audiobook that brings to life the idea of incarnating our faith in an age of disengagement.
What did you like best about this story?
Drawing from experience, cultural hotspots & a rich faith, the book offers a hopeful and attainable alternative to our disconnected culture.
What about William Neenan’s performance did you like?
Neenan's performance was clear and engaging, though knowing that Frost is Australian made the read strange in some ways.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book made me "Aha!" out loud many times. It is captivating and interesting throughout.
Any additional comments?
An excellent resource for every audiobook library.

An Outstanding Work not to be missed!
If you are weary of the futility of living the typical cultural Christian experience and desire the world changing power that was demonstrated by Christ and the early church then this book is for you. The author has the passion, conviction, scholarship, and experiential knowledge to deliver a hammer blow to dead religion and provide a practical road map to a vibrant "incarnate" faith. The reader served the writing well.

Lots to think about
I'm not sure that I entirely age with the author's definition of what is or is not excarnate ministry or life practice, but there is tonnes to think about in this book. Enough, in fact, that I'm likely to buy a hard copy to chew over.
The recording was great. My only problem is that on occasion the text refers to figures but the reader never rada the figure, so I'm left wondering what it might have added to help with understanding. Great reader, though.

What made the experience of listening to Incarnate the most enjoyable?
A really great critique of culture (and particularly church culture). Content as always was excellent.
What other book might you compare Incarnate to and why?
Builds on The Shaping of Things to Come and Exiles etc.

Prophetic insight into a post, post modern culture
As a former student of Frost's his writing is as ever engaging, informed and as mentioned prophetic. His insight into culture, both local and international is helpful and intuitive.
It is an essential read for those subscribing to a biblical conviction of discipleship, community and faith as well as those disillusioned with the current climate and the frustration associated with it.
As a person of faith I believe that solutions are born out of belief in God through community but Frost's book does not exclusively talk to that which is refreshing. It is in my opinion a comprehensive and prophetic assessment of culture and a preview of hope for those willing to appose socio cultural norms.
