About the Book

This book is about discipleship and is a witness to God's grace; seeing God in others and in creation; learning about God through church, scientific discovery, and theological education; preaching and pastoring; journeying with others; and teaching and exploring life and the world through theological reflection. The post-resurrection account of Jesus meeting two disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35) is the motif which is the central theme of the book and which shapes our reflection on the ways in which God calls and equips Christians in their life journey. It is a faith story that asks questions about how God acts in the world and in human lives; reflects on the nature of God and on God's desire for every human life; and on sharing the good news of new possibilities for a life in Christ, a life in all the fullness that God has purposed, where the Christ who accompanies us on the road is able to make sense of our experiences. My hope is that readers will benefit from, and be challenged by, the testimony, theological reflection, and biblical exploration in this account of how we experience God's grace and calling on our lives.

About the Author :
John Weaver is a retired Baptist minister; a former tutor and fellow in practical theology at Regent's Park College Oxford; principal of the Cardiff Baptist College; and dean of the Faculty of Theology, Cardiff University. He is the author of Outside-In: Theological Reflections on Life (2006), Christianity and Science (SCM Core Text) (2010), and, with Phil Jump, Love: Work--Reflections and Prayers for a World at Work (2021).


Review :
"Using the Emmaus-road story as the central motif, John invites his readers to walk alongside him as he recounts the joys and struggles of his own walk with God. As I listened carefully to John's testimony, I found myself enfolded within the loving presence of Christ and inspired to face the next stage of my own journey with renewed hope and courage."
--Joshua T. Searle, Spurgeon's College

"In this very remarkable piece of theological autobiography, John Weaver remarks that 'by writing we impose a shape on the world.' He is surely speaking of this book, which is nothing less than his own spiritual journal. Through it he is giving shape to his own life, interpreting it theologically--but he is also encouraging every reader to do the same."
--Paul S. Fiddes, University of Oxford

"John Weaver's book is refreshingly honest and helpful for insights gleaned from significant encounters in his life and offers practical applications to others alert to the pilgrimage of their lives. The bonus for me was the level of personal sharing of the author's life, spiritual encounters, and challenges. It is refreshing to receive these insights."
--James A. Smith, global mission leader, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship

"John Weaver has woven together a rich tapestry of story, scholarship, and searing honesty, helping us to live our whole lives in God. Faithfully biblical, rooted in real life, wisely reflecting on experience, drawing on insights from events and people, John encourages us to fully inhabit our storied lives--alive, alert, fizzing with hope and grace. A real joy to read."
--Sian Murray-Williams, moderator, Ministerial Recognition Committee, the Baptist Union of Great Britain

"This book is an inspiration for reflective living. Using the Emmaus story, John helps us to see how reflection over the long journey of our lives may open our eyes to the presence of the risen Christ in the everyday. John's gift is to connect with the experience of disillusionment and uncertainty. Through deep reflection on his own story, he testifies to the saving hope that can be found on the darkest of roads."
--Mike Pears, director, IBTS, Amsterdam
