Synopsis

In a cliche-free zone, 'Twenty Four' suggests practical ways that we can discover a more 24/7 approach to discipleship. It is real, stimulating and designed to make you think about the stuff that makes up the daily diet called life. Taking a day in the life of an ordinary person, it is designed for Christians everywhere to gain an exciting new perspective on all parts of their lives and shows how every aspect can be part of worship. Each chapter is filled with illustrations from modern culture and the biblical viewpoint on each area is considered. Through Krish Kandiah's thoughtful and original teaching, we see how to serve and worship our amazing God in each of these. With a brand new cover and internal design. Twenty Four now includes discussion questions at the end of each chapter. Twenty Four can be used in small groups or in mentoring situations.

Review

Fans of the cult TV show 24 will get into this book instantly. Jack Bauer, the finest field agent at the Counter Terrorism Unit of the US government is cited on page one. This ultimate hero seems to carry the weight of the world on his not inconsiderable shoulders. Saving the President, killing the bad guys and saving the world is all in a days work. But as Krish Kandiah points out (according to TV land) Bauer has never been to the toilet, gone home to bed, had a meal sitting down or run out of battery power on his mobile phone. Bauer is a full-on 24 hour a day agent. Building on this analogy, the author takes a lightning survey of real life which is far away from a scriptwriter's world; work, leisure, family, eating, resting, exercising, shopping and (wait for it) fun. He passes these everyday things through the filter of Scripture with the simple aim of helping us discover what a God-centred life looks like.

In a cliché-free zone, the book suggests practical ways that we can discover a more 24/7 approach to discipleship. It is real, stimulating and designed to make you think about the stuff the makes up the daily diet called life.

I have a hunch that Kandiah is going to write a lot more, and if this book is anything to go by, the church will be enriched by some unique insights into truths that don't have a sell-by date but always benefit from re-packaging.

High:

Short, sharp, easy to read chapters with really useful suggestions.
