About You: Fully Human, Fully Alive
Dick Staub
"We yearn to be fully alive and fully human, but the very fact that
we yearn for this means it is not an actuality. We want to be more than
we are, but are somehow less than we should be. We feel less than fully
human, which is another way of saying we have somehow been dehumanized."
--from the Preface
In About You, Dick Staub addresses
irreligious, religious, spiritual seekers, and all kinds of Christians,
and shows us that Jesus came to satisfy our universal longing for a
fully human life, not to establish a narrow us-versus-them religion. In
short, Jesus didn't come to make us Christian; Jesus came to make us
fully human. In a fresh exploration of the ancient Biblical stories of
creation, fall, and redemption, Staub explains that salvation is not
about going to heaven when we die; it is about a full and abundant life
now. In practical, down-to-earth language, About You deals with this
concept on three levels: anthropologically (our common story and
universal human needs), theologically (God's awareness and response to
our needs), and practically (how we can attain and maintain a more
complete and satisfying life).
