A collection of essays that explores the ways God speaks to us through other, usually unconventional, people. In this, Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber examines the encounters she has had with other people which have led her to more fully understanding the gospel of grace, love, and mercy. If you are a fan of Anne Lammott, Donald Miller, or Father Greg Boyle, you’ll enjoy this.

An entire book devoted to the analysis of how we react to one of the most human of actions—talking to strangers. A plethora of real-life scenarios ask us to rethink the way the incident was portrayed or how we ourselves might react. Controversies such as Brock Turner, Amanda Knox, Larry Nassar, Bernie Madoff, and Sandra Bland are all covered, as well as some old conundrums, such as how Hitler won over so many people or how top CIA officials were duped into hiring a Cuban spy. The audiobook version includes actual interview footage and makes the book a great listen.
