▼▲It ought to be official: Tex Sample is a national treasure. From one of the worlds greatest living storytellers, this book showcases a master at work, one who knows the value of lifting up stories he stops just short of telling. Leonard Sweet, Drew Theological School, George Fox University, editor of The Church of the Perfect Storm
Tex Sample weaves together heaven and earth, grit and glory, unveiling a God who is shockingly present. This is spirituality shaped by the streets; mysticism embodied by a motorcycle gang; raucous resistance to a narrowing religiosity that confines spirit to sanctuaries and salvation to the churched. In these holy, haunting, healing stories, Tex unleashes a disruptive invitation to dance with the God of surprises into the fullness of life. Janet Wolf, pastor, preacher, professor, and community organizer, learning to dance

▼▲I do not regard myself as unusual or special. My hunch, and it is more than that, is that a host of people will recognize themselves in what I describe here. What is here is, clearly, my story, but it is not about me. It is about a God of surprises, of One who comes in the ordinary and the seamy. It is about a God who will goose you. It is about mystical moments when clearly the only thing that finally matters is this God who will never leave us alone, especially in the ordinary and angular places of life. It is, I hope, a spirituality for unspiritual people.
