In With, Skye Jethani tenderly unmasks the clichéd posturing that too often masquerades as genuine communion with Christ. More importantly, he takes readers to the humble place they must occupy--in prayer, studying Scripture, with the Church--if faith, hope, and love are to truly mark our lives. -James H. Gilmore, author, The Experience EconomyIt doesnt matter, as old theologians were rumored to argue, how many angels can dance on a pinhead. But it does matter which preposition governs your faith--over, after, against, for, from, under, with. Who knew what huge worlds turn on such tiny words Who knew what theological riches were laced into the bones of grammar Skye has done a great service to the church. In prose elegant and clear, with insights keen and deep, he shows how everything changes with just one word: With. Its a book I want my whole church to read. -Mark Buchanan, author of Spiritual RhythmWho knew that a preposition had so much influence Skyes book will challenge the way that you think about God and faith, digging deep into our motivations and heart issues. You cant read this book and not see yourself and others differently! -Margaret Feinberg, author of Scouting the Divine and Hungry for God Author Biography Skye Jethani (@skye_jethani) is the executive editor of the Leadership Media Group at Christianity Today and also contributes regularly to Relevant, The Huffington Post, and radio programs around the country.

Why are pastors, those closest to the work and ministry, burning out at an alarming rate? Why do many church members, who give large amounts of their time and wealth to Christ and his kingdom, secretly question the legitimacy of their efforts? And why are spiritual seekers dismissing the validity of the Christian message? Is it possible weve misunderstood the call of the Christian life?
