Clarence Jordan didn't set out to be convenient.

A farmer, preacher, New Testament Greek scholar, and cofounder of Koinonia Farm, Jordan spent his life asking what it would mean to take Jesus seriously. The answers often put him at odds with the world around him.

This collection gathers talks and writings that address some of the most pressing issues of his day—war, wealth, race, and religion. More than half a century later, the questions remain familiar.

There is a clarity to Clarence's writing that cuts through the noise and asks what the Gospel actually looks like when lived. Rooted in Scripture and unwilling to settle for easy answers, he challenges readers to move beyond belief as an idea and toward faith as a way of life.

His words do not sit still. They ask something of us. And if we let them, they may change us.
