À propos de cet audio

Read by the author.

Room for Good Things to Run Wild is the antidote to widespread Christian malaise. If you feel like life is happening to you, that your faith has been reduced to trite platitudes, and that no matter how many new things you try, you still end up with a dissatisfying Christian life, this book offers relief from the mediocrity of Christian living through the sacred and satisfying journey of becoming an every day saint.

After spending too many days staring at the hamster cage of his uninspired life through the bottom of a glass of Scotch, Josh Nadeau knew there were only 2 ways left to go: further down or finally up. Disillusioned by his faith and disenchanted by the world around him, Josh chose up out of a desperation to discover the Jesus who had formed the saints of old.

Steeped in literature and doctrine, art and raw daily life and accompanied by original illustrations and living liturgy this book will bring you on the journey back to an embodied theology that understands that we know, not just with our minds, but also with our bodies. From Canada, to England, to Ireland and Spain, Josh follows the Jesus Way, teaching you how to be just as honest about the pain of your life as the pleasure of your life.

Rediscover the full and wild world that God has created for you in the way He has created you to experience it. Room for Good Things to Run Wild is a call into the Holy Ordinary; a new way to see that wakes the soul and satisfies the body.

If you’re looking for a self-help book, this is not it. But if you’re on the path of learning how to become embodied, gritty and a little messier, you’ll find a coming home moment in every Act. A good companion read would be The Quotidian Mysteries by Kathleen Norris, especially if the final chapters left you wanting something more epic. This book is kind of like gardening, I think. Give it a minute to grow in you.

This is masterful engagement with core questions that we all face as believers. What does it look like to live an embodied faith? Josh draws you in with his story and teaches in a beautiful and profound way!

A Theology of the Body

Josh starts out by asking the same questions we all stare in the face at one point or another and forces you to look at your life and think about the questions that are easier to ignore. Throughout the book the way that he started answering those questions unfolds, but not in a way that provides answers for your own life. Rather he frames it in a way that guides you in how to start answering your own questions. This book isn’t a map to the good life, but it’s an invitation into it.

Teaching but not telling

Josh Nadeau’s writing is thoughtful and poetic, though at times it feels a bit too flowery and self-important. The central theme of finding beauty in the everyday is meaningful, but the book often reads more like a self-help guide for a church-raised man navigating addiction without ever fully confronting it. I keep waiting for the "I just don't need that beer or GT", but it never comes and feels unreaolved.
Despite its lofty tone, it was in fact just kind of ordinary. While some readers may find comfort in the journey he shares, I found it lacked real resolution and leaned too heavily on familiar reflections without offering much new insight. life is a journey and he did a good job of explaining this but that is all.
