This is a book of praxis. It is not a theological work, nor is it a nuts and bolts handbook. It inspires and points the reader towards following Jesus' example of activism in the community. You don't walk away from this book without giving serious thought to how your own sprituality can transcend glib piety or self-centred salvationism. Dave doesn't leave you much alternative but to become engaged in the lives of others - especially those who are on society's margins - in ways which are directly modelled by the Human One (Son of Man).

Dave peppers his engaged and passionate prose with stories from his own community as well as lively and contemporary adaptations of gospel stories. Dave can be critical of the institutional churches, but that is no bad thing. I imagine Jesus would be too.

Note that this work is a revision and rewrite of an earlier book, Can You Hear the Heartbeat?
