‘Dirty God’ is a book for anyone who wants to find the Jesus of scripture in the reality of their everyday lives and benefit from the grace that sustains even among the mud and muck of humanity. Johnie Moore invites you to grow out of your Sunday School picture of the blond-haired, blue-eyed Jesus, and to look again at the man who entered fully into the mess of human existence to bring us the life changing gift of God – his unlimited grace.

As grown ups we need a new appreciation of who Jesus was and is. We need to free ourselves – and him from the childhood restrictions of a picture book Jesus with his perfect white robe. To be his followers in our times, we need to see the dust on his feet and dirt beneath his fingernails. We need to find the Jesus of the gutters and the trenches and, sometimes, we even need to join him there.

Johnnie Moore draws on both scripture and his experience as pastor, teacher, vice president of Liberty University, to reveal the God of the Bible in his willingness to be near us in all of our self-made chaos and confusion. He invites you to meet a Jesus with dirt under his fingernails. A Jesus unafraid of reaching into the mud and muck of humanity to extend grace to the children he loves.

In ‘Dirty God: Jesus In The Trenches’, Moore outlines the importance grace while a humble and human Jesus reaches out to us at our worst and pulls us up to our best. In the book’s two part structure, Moore shows how grace is both received and given allowing you explore and experience both aspects. Through hope rather than condemnation, ‘Dirty God’ appeals to both the committed Christian and the spiritually curious looking for a more authentic faith.
