Flipped The Provocative Truth That Changes Everything We Know About God
Flipped: The Provocative Truth That Changes Everything We Know About God by Doug Pagitt, published by Harmony/Rodale/Convergent on February 17, 2015, offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between humanity and the divine. This 224-page book challenges common narratives about faith and the expectations placed on believers, suggesting that traditional views may misrepresent the nature of God and His relationship with people.

The book encourages a departure from transactional beliefs about faith, promoting a more profound connection with the divine that transcends religious rules. Readers will find insights into spirituality and faith that aim to foster spiritual growth and a deeper understanding of their place in relation to God.
Official synopsis Publisher
We all have stories in our heads about God, humanity, life, and the meaning of it all. One of the most common—and misleading—stories is “If I’m faithful in doing this, then God promises to do that.” Jesus didn’t believe it and neither should you. God does not insist that you play by the rules before he will respond to you. A careful reading of the Bible will free all of us from trying to make a deal with God, inviting us instead to live in God.
How would your life change if you flipped your understanding of God?
Doug Pagitt takes a new look at provocative statements made by Jesus, Paul, and the prophets. Jesus turned the tables on religious assumptions every time he began with “You have heard it said, but I say to you…” Paul quoted a pagan poet when he revealed the truth that we live, move, and have our being in God.
Come along on a journey of discovery and change, leading to a flip in your view of where God is and where we are in relation to God. Set aside the rules of religion and know the freedom of living in God.
