We see it in Jesus, who wielded tremendous power yet also exposed himself...

Pessoas em comunhão com Deus são fortes e fracas. Não apenas fortes, como se fossem apegadas a poder, status e riqueza. Não apenas fracas, como se lhes faltasse o sopro revigorante do Espírito. Mas é nessa combinação entre força e fraqueza, que confronta o senso comum, que o cristão e a cristã podem almejar experimentar o que Jesus denominou vida abundante.Esse abençoado paradoxo é uma condição para avaliar nosso relacionamento com Deus.

With Playing God, Andy Crouch opens the subject of power, elucidating its subtle activity in our relationships and institutions. He gives us much more than a warning against abuse, though. Turning the notion of "playing God" on its head, Crouch celebrates power as the gift by which we join in God's creative, redeeming work in the world. An essential book for all who would influence their world for the good.
