For more than twenty years, Doug has been inviting me to see both the world and the Bible with new eyes, and the imaginative, hopeful, creative spirit that has pervaded so many of our conversations over the years also leaps from every one of these pages. This book brings ancient stories into modern life so beautifully, and I can't wait to share it.

In Outdoing Jesus, Doug Pagitt masterfully portrays how everyday people are fulfilling Christ's audacious call to exceed his work on the earth, inspiring us all to courageously embody our own capacity as miracle workers.

Outdoing Jesus is an inspiring collection of stories, a commentary on the Gospel of John, and a powerful example of how to read the Bible in a fresh way. It reads effortlessly and doesn't waste a word. So worth your time, on many levels.

This is Bible study at its best. It Illuminates the gospel story in a way that helps it reveal to us the world as it really is.
