Publisher"s comment - "This book emphasizes the joy a
that accompanies the sacrifice and change which our age of revolution and challenge require...The revolution in the Christian world need not be as grim as some angry young theologians indicate. It does not call for a new jargon, and it does not require the smashing of present church structures. Where the latter are outmoded or false they will collapse by the judgment the secular world brings upon them. Where they contain the gospel, but conceal and restrict it by false premises, the structures need to be redeemed, not necessarily replaced. There are signs all around us of a new virility in the Chruch"s thinking and of intelligent awareness that changed circumstances call for new patterns of commitment and work." The author examines what implications this new thinking has for our corporate moral behavior, our home life, and our activities. "In his conclusion, Father Wylie says, "Our security is not in a place, nor in an age, nor in an ideology. It is in the Living God and in our relationships to Him as sons and daughters. Our home is the Jerusalem above, which is free and mother of all. Faith and obedience are all that are required of us. God will do the rest.""
