Synopsis

What if the new age we keep placing in the future is already here?

We are told that to age is to harden, and that maturity is the goal. Eternally New refuses both. Drawing its line straight through Scripture—born again, I die daily, the inward man renewed day by day—it makes a single, startling claim: God's promise presses all the way into the creature. Not the vanity of the cosmetics counter, but the youth of God in a human being. The freshness of grace. The childlikeness Christ commanded.

This is not a book about staying naïve. It is a book about being made new—in the body, in the breath, in the middle of an ordinary morning.

With the desert father Isaac the Syrian, the bishop Nikolai by his lake, Gregory of Nyssa on the soul's endless ascent, and witnesses from every nation that ever reached back for a divine child, Jahn Hooks moves from the breath moving through your chest to the resurrection of the body. Along the way he takes apart the false self we call "adult," names the daily death that is a friend and the death that is an enemy, and asks the question underneath all the others:

If you are born again daily, what exactly is your age?

Part testimony, part doctrine, part sacred wordplay, Eternally New is a contemplative field guide to the oldest and strangest promise in the faith: that the children of God do not age out of the Father's house. They grow deeper into home.

For readers of contemplative Christianity, Christian mysticism, and anyone who has ever been told to grow out of wonder—and quietly refused.
