Описание: In this extraordinary book, Alexander Masters has created a moving portrait of a troubled man, an unlikely friendship, and a desperate world few ever see. A gripping who-done-it journey back in time, it begins with Masters meeting a drunken Stuart lying on a sidewalk in Cambridge, England, and leads through layers of hell...back through crimes and misdemeanors, prison and homelessness, suicide attempts, violence, drugs, juvenile halls and special schools-to expose the smiling, gregarious thirteen-year-old boy who was Stuart before his long, sprawling, dangerous fall.

Shocking, inspiring, and hilarious by turns, Stuart: A Life Backwards is a writer's quest to give voice to a man who, beneath his forbidding exterior, has a message for us all: that every life-even the most chaotic and disreputable-is a story worthy of being told.

Описание:

Stuart Murray accepts the fact that Christians are now members of a minority religious community in a plural society, but suggests that this changed status raises questions. How is this diminished status to be understood in a global and historical context and within the purposes of God? What institutional changes are required if the Christian community is to operate with much more limited resources? What psychological and emotional adjustments are needed in communities that have a corporate memory of majority status, privilege and influence but now experience life as a minority? What hopes and expectations should be encouraged, and what strategies should be adopted? In a unique, positive and biblical way, A Vast Minority explores the challenges and opportunities we face today.
