Rumors of God: Experience the Kind of Faith You´ve Only Heard About
Where is the life God promised us?

Life is busy. We live like slaves to our fast-paced, suffocating schedules. We spend our energy and time in triviality, relegating God to the background. He seems distant to us, and we resist the idea that God wants to give, say, and show us more; we dismiss it as rumor. But Jesus calls us to a better way. Another dream- an unimagined future. Close the gap between what you hear about and what you see.

Rumors is filled with the same forward-thinking spirit that defines its authors, Jon Tyson and Darren Whitehead. —Louie Giglio, pastor, Passion City Church

Both challenging and encouraging, Rumors of God will reintroduce you to a God worth talking about. —Gabe Lyons, author, The Next Christians, founder, Q, coauthor, UnChristian

This book invites us to find the rumors of God all around us. Read it, but be ready to be changed. —Scot McKnight, author, One.Life: Jesus Calls, We Follow and Jesus Creed for Students

For those who are jaded by the church, or have become cynical about the power of the Gospel in our time, Rumors of God is a great antidote. —Alan Hirsch, author, dreamer, activist (www.theforgottenways.org)
