Summary
What happens when God turns up?
‘Has God become as familiar and forgettable as a fridge magnet? That’s the danger Krish Kandiah faces up to in this wonderfully readable and very challenging book. Bible stories come to life as Krish tells them afresh, richly illustrated with personal experience and social relevance, and in each case the living God turns up - strange, dangerous, and, like Aslan, not safe but good.’ CHRIS WRIGHT, LANGHAM PARTNERSHIP

Critics Review
Krish Kandiah’s work with refugees and vulnerable children is inspirational. He and his wife Miriam model their teaching on Christian hospitality by welcoming adopted and foster children into their home. We have much to learn from their example. * Nicky and Pippa Gumbel *We think we know God but Kandiah wants us to come to see God as a stranger, someone we haven’t got taped, and find our lives turned upside down as a result. * The Church of England Newspaper *In his new book God is Stranger, Krish Kandiah turns the tables on what we think we know about God. * Inspire Magazine *Kandiah challenges us to recognise that having met the God who is a stranger we should look out for God in the stranger… This is a book which made me think, which helped me see things a little differently, to link the things that I know in my head with the things that I feel in my heart. * Methodist Recorder *[Krish Kandiah] shows us that God often shows up when and where we least expect him to, and brings us a powerful challenge. * Together Magazine *The author’s own commitment to Scripture and his personal engagement with the issues require us to listen with care… You must read this book and hear what God is saying to the churches in our day. * Evangelicals Now *Drawing on personal experience, Kandiah asks searching questions about the appearance of God in lives. * Life & Work *This book makes challenging reading for anyone concerned to live out the radical demands of the gospel. * Idea Magazine *
