"Borg's focus is on wonder, that deep-seated conviction and experience that there is more to life than we can know or hope to know, and though beyond our grasp, this knowledge is available to us . Portrays a Christianity that is reasonable, full, expansive, and life affirming." - Library Journal "Two years after the liberal theologian's death, Borg still has something to offer those who wish to explore progressive Christianity." - Mountain Times "Borg had a profound faith in the Spirit that continues to flow [and] ultimately, that is why I so strongly urge our readers to get a copy of this posthumous collection drawn from Marcus's writings." - Read The Spirit "Borg left a legacy of good works and good words, and his provocative messages resonate in this capstone anthology." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "In Days of Awe and Wonder, we get to the heart of why Marcus Borg matters. Borg cracks open Christianity for many of us who felt trapped outside its impenetrable walls of dubious dogmas. With skill and care he defines our faith, realigns our compassion, and invites us to believe again.

You will be encouraged to, as Marcus says, "go beyond your mind," to the space of awe and wonder, to the place where our hearts and minds are infused with the Spirit of God, and we are transformed to transform the world. " - Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis, author of The Power of Stories "You must buy this book.
You will want to dive deep into these insights and find in the keenly articulated faith of this one extraordinary man a reminder of the faith that claims all of us. You will be encouraged, as Marcus says, 'to go beyond your mind' to the space of awe and wonder, to the place where our hearts and minds are infused with the Spirit of God and we are transformed to transform the world." - Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis, author of The Power of Stories "A fine memorial collection [covering] Borg's characteristic themes [as well as] such corollary topics as the New Atheism, the essence of Christianity, the wisdom in other religions, and how to hear the voice of God." - Booklist "You may have heard it said that Christians need to understand Jesus differently to survive the 21st century. But Marcus Borg insisted that Christians need to experience Jesus differently to be faithful in these days. In these pages, Borg's deepest wisdom shines through--framed in the best of biblical scholarship, Jesus shines forth as a 'spirit person' who invites all people into lives of awe and wonder for the sake of the world.
Read and meet Jesus again, perhaps for the very first time, and fall into God's all-encompassing love." - Diana Butler Bass, Author of Grounded: Finding God in the World--A Spiritual Revolution "In these pages, Borg's deepest wisdom shines through--framed in the best of biblical scholarship, Jesus shines forth as a 'spirit person' who invites all people into lives of awe and wonder for the sake of the world.
