Wide Open Spaces

Jim Palmer’s critically acclaimed Divine Nobodies was about deconstructing dead religion in order to meet Jesus. In his next book, Palmer speaks again through stories and insightful teaching to reach the “nobodies of the world,” and he describes and illustrates a deeper and wider Christian spirituality that is as vigourously refreshing as a dip in a cool mountain lake. There is a revolution going on–a whole lot of people are tired of settling for a shallow and narrow Christianity. Palmer proclaims here that God is indeed in the process of birthing something deep and wide among unlikely people in unconventional ways, which is changing the world…one “nobody” at a time “I am tempted to say that Jim Palmer could well be the next Don Miller, but what they have in common, along with an honest spirituality and extraordinary skill as storytellers, is a unique voice. So I might instead say that one of our best young writers in the future may well be called the next Jim Palmer.”–Brian McLaren
