Broken Escalators

Pop-science meets theology in an engaging book from Peter Haas. Approaching Scripture with comedy, stats, and story-telling, a Minnesota minister explores some counter-intuitive twists behind happiness and promotion. Diving deeper than others would dare, this gutsy writer wrestles with theological issues many leaders would avoid on Sunday. He asks, “What if your prayers could reveal your promotability or odds of happiness?” and “Did you know some people who survive traumatic events report higher levels of happiness?” Get the book and you’ll see all of his other brilliant prompts. This author’s bold goal is to tweak people’s minds. He hopes to increase the time and energy you and the people you know are investing in prayer, thinking, and even blogging.
