About the Book

Christians are meant to be weird enough in the world that when God gets the world God wants, we fit right in. Psalm 34 guides us in living toward that world, giving us signposts along the way that leads to life. As David invites us into the ways of worship, prayer, incarnation, discipline, lament, and freedom, we develop an imagination for what it means to answer Jesus's call for his church to be strange for the sake of the world God so loves.

About the Author :
J. Aaron Miller is the congregational minister at University Hill United Church and a campus minister at the University of British Columbia. He is the author of Witnesses of These Things: Faithfulness Here and Now (2024).

Review :
"As congregations navigate massive cultural shifts, many feel uncertain they can find their way forward. Weird in the World lights up the path of Jesus's wildly wonderful, world-transforming gospel. It explores the ways that God's grace forms us to live faithfully here and now in God's new creation. Training us to read signs of God's presence in both the ordinary and the disrupted parts of our lives, we get to make our way with creativity, joy, and hope." --Christine Jerrett, Director, Licensed Lay Worship Leader Program, United in Learning, Canada "Funny, vulnerable, and full of insight, Aaron's book is an enthralling call to recover our alternative, countercultural identity as followers of Jesus. Each chapter cuts through the noise of our time, sinking deep into the heart of discipleship to offer a breathtaking guide for those seeking to recover a wholesome embodiment of the way of Jesus for the sake of this world." --Simon LeSieur, Lead Minister, West Vancouver United Church "As Christians we hear the call, and we know the imperative: be in but not of the world. Fully present to our world--but also with an identity and a way of being that is aligned with the reign of God in Christ. It is not easy, but Aaron Miller provides us with wisdom and encouragement to live and work in this dynamic space." --Gordon T. Smith, Executive Director, Christian Higher Education Canada "Weird in the World serves as a winsome guide and companion for Christians in navigating the generative space between the high call of discipleship and the reality of our world marked by preoccupations, peril, and possibility. Miller invites us to set aside our worry and drive to be socially acceptable, successful, or even liked and to embrace 'being weird' for the sake of following Jesus. Through exploration of ancient and rich scriptural practices, we are encouraged to engage our imaginations to envision possibilities of deepening faith and life not despite the world, but fully and deeply in it." --Joni Sancken, Butler Chair in Homiletics and Biblical Interpretation, Vancouver School of Theology
