Jesus without Borders

Jesus Without Borders is a new, off-beat and lighthearted travel memoir from Chad Gibbs.

Chad Gibbs has lived his entire life in Alabama USA, the buckle of America's Bible Belt, where Christianity is a person's default setting. In Jesus Without Borders, Gibbs steps outside of his very comfortable existence to learn what it's like to be a Christian elsewhere in the world.

Over many months, Chad and his Alabama worldview spent time with believers from Beijing to Rio de Janeiro, worshiping with them and observing not only how their faith influences their daily lives but how their daily lives influence their faith.

Reflecting on conversations and experiences, Gibbs wrestles with a wide range of questions from his conservative Christian background; including politics and patriotism in the church and how living in the culture of the Western World has shaped his views on pacifism, alcohol, and Christ himself.

An attempt to extract and examine the biases in the author's own faith, Jesus Without Borders will have you questioning if you believe certain things because you are a Christian, or because you are 'Western'.

As Chad meets believers from around the world with differing views on a variety of subjects, Gibbs' trademark humour enlightens and entertains by eliminating prejudices and misconceptions and clearing away the parts of our culture that keep us from seeing a clearer picture of Christ.
