Dangerous Wonder: The Adventure of Childlike Faith

JUMP FIRST. FEAR LATER. Remember the thrill of thinking you could fly? The adventure of going places in your imagination? The joy and abandon of running and jumping and playing hard-without worrying about what "might" happen? In Dangerous Wonder, Michael Yaconelli invites you to recapture the joy of being a child and apply it to your relationship with God. You'll be encouraged to ask difficult questions about faith and take Jesus at His word when He says, "Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." If you're looking for the joy and freedom of faith, Dangerous Wonder will open your eyes and your life to the possibility of an exciting adventure in relationship with God. "Mike Yanconelli has written a book about wonder that is truly wonderful. It made me laugh, cry, and pray that God would help me grow up enough to become a child again. After reading this book, I felt my spirit loosen its tie, kick off its shoes, and run out to play in the sunshine of God's grace."-Dr. Donald W. McCullough, president, San Francisco Theological Seminary and author of The Trivialization of God "Sea-lover, loner, sky-sentry, gifted writer, faithful friend, Mike Yanconelli awakens and befriends the child within and guides us to a place where Jesus says we all belong."-Brennan Manning, author of The Boy Who Cried Abba and Abba's Child TABLE OF CONTENTS: Introduction: The Place All Children Know About Chapter 1: Dangerous Wonder Chapter 2: Risky Curiosity Chapter 3: Wild Abandon Chapter 4: Daring Playfulness Chapter 5: Intense Listening Chapter 6: Irresponsible Passion Chapter 7: Happy Terror Chapter 8: Naive Grace Chapter 9: Childlike Faith
