NATHANAEL’S BUBBLE – think for yourself

 

Nathanael’s Bubble

You and I have bubbles. Everyone does. No matter who we are, where we live, or how enlightened we think we are.  We all live in bubbles. We discuss wars, we contemplate pandemics, we scrutinise vaccines, we share convictions, and we judge evildoers, but we fail to recognise that “our truth” comes from a bubble of prejudice, shaped by our experiences and environments.

I have really enjoyed writing this book and it challenged me to the core.  What I enjoyed most was stepping INTO scripture, trying to understand how the transformative, counter-cultural, and liberating teachings of Christ must have challenged His followers.  Salted and seasoned, ever pointing to a God who came to seek and save the lost, His teachings always offended the religious and comforted the sinner.  In every chapter I stepped into a story and was confronted with myself.

Detecting, dissecting and dismembering our distinctive and debilitating bubbles
