Overview

Alexander examines the four Christian gospels, the original communities for which they were written, and the ancient gospel reading sequence. By placing ourselves in conversation with these early communities, we explore common dilemmas including how they speak to the four great questions of the spiritual life - Matthew: How do we face change? Mark: How do we move through suffering? John: How do we receive joy? Luke: How do we mature in service?

This is a stunning book. You won't read the gospels the same way ever again. You won't think about your life the same way again. Anthropology, psychology, the Hero's Journey, the Bible: fear, struggle, hope bravery, anticipation, euphoria, return - it's all here in this masterful work, by one of my favorite teachers-guides-gurus-leader-village elder - Alexander John Shaia. Rob Bell, Bestselling Author of What We Talk About, When We Talk About God and What Is The Bible? This book enriches prayer. Every word is delicious. Mpho Tutu, Author, Director of the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation In 'Radical Transformation' Dr. Shaia gives us back our central sacred text - the four gospels - not as conflicted and faulty historical records, but as a vibrant, luminous path of transformation. He reveals The Four-Gospel Journey as a living guide, re-centering human life on wisdom, compassion, and service, rooted in a mystical relationship with Christ. And the potential for this living guide is already becoming manifest, as individuals, groups and entire communities are using it all over the world... and the word is spreading. + Marc Handley Andrus, Episcopal Bishop, Diocese of California
