Hugh doesn’t merely capture the reader’s attention with stories of both personal failure and success, nor simply offer a perspective on Jesus that is refreshing; he doesn’t merely provide insight of Jesus’ life applied to missionary living, nor help readers understand the mystery and mission of God incarnate; he doesn’t merely offer practical and simple steps to live like Jesus, nor progress to deal with the tough questions Jesus-followers wrestle with; he doesn’t merely encourage the stable or static Jesus-follower to try something new, nor merely inspire them to radical action. Somehow, he accomplishes all of those things. This is not a biography, nor a Bible commentary, nor a textbook, nor a user’s manual, but elements of each help the reader to begin to conceptualize what it might look like—and take positive action toward—engaging on mission with Jesus and like Jesus.
