Holy Fools

Pastor Matt Woodley didn't set out on his spiritual journey with the intention of becoming a fool. He was comfortable, respectable, and to be honest, nice. But somewhere along the way he realized that his life-and his faith-wasn't all he wanted it to be. And it certainly wasn't all God wanted it to be either. So without entirely knowing where he was going, he embarked on an ancient path of holy folly, in the footsteps of a motley group of God followers. From the desert Christians of the fourth century to contemporary "fools" for Christ, he encountered men and women whose unconventional, unsettling faith was enough to jar him out of spiritual complacency. Get ready to meet the holy fools. They'll provoke you, disrupt you, challenge you, and at times make you laugh. But the one luxury they won't afford you is to sit on your chair, unchanged.Woodley, Mathew is the author of 'Holy Fools', published 2008 under ISBN 9781414316307 and ISBN 1414316305.
