About this ebook
In this provocative and compelling book, internationally known missiologists Alan and Debra Hirsch overthrow culturized understandings of theology and culture, and cast a vision for a distinctly mission-shaped way of living the Christian life. Written for any Christian serious about issue of discipleship, Untamed covers such topics as church, humans as bearers of the image of God, family life, culture, and sexuality. Through it all they seek to answer the question, how are we to think and live day to day as followers of Jesus?
Each chapter ends with suggested practices to help readers begin to live out the book's principles as well as questions for group discussion.

Reviews for Untamed (Shapevine)

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Just as we often re-create Jesus in our own image (making Jesus reflect our culture, race, values, etc.), it is far too easy to put aside the biblical picture of discipleship in favor of one that mirrors our own cultural preferences and comforts. Alan and Debra Hirsch call the reader to follow “shema spirituality” (Mark 12:29-31) – a way of learning from Jesus that demands our entire selves (heart, mind, soul, and strength; e.g. family, money, sex, time) and prepares us for a mission marked by presence, proximity, powerlessness, provenience, proclamation, and passion.
