A no-nonsense sequel to Resident Aliens, this book tells how to go about transforming a church into a gathering of "resident aliens". It is an assessment of the world and culture in which we live, and an analysis of what is called for to retain a Christian stance within that culture.

Only when the Church enacts its scandalous Jesus-centered tradition, will it truly be the Body of Christ and transform the world. Twenty-five years after its first publishing, Resident Aliens remains a prophetic vision of how the Church can regain its vitality, battle its malaise, reclaim its capacity to nourish souls, and stand firmly against the illusions, pretensions, and eroding values of today's world. Resident Aliens discusses the nature of the church and its relationship to surrounding culture. It argues that churches should focus on developing Christian life and community rather than attempting to reform secular culture. Hauerwas and Willimon reject the idea that America is a Christian nation, instead Christians should see themselves as "residents aliens" in a foreign land. Stanley Hauerwas and William H. Willimon maintain that, instead of attempting to transform government, the role of Christians is to live lives which model the love of Christ. Rather than trying to convince others to change their ethics, Christians should model a new set of ethics which are grounded in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.

Twenty years ago Rian Malan wrote the best-selling book "My Traitor's Heart". Readers were both entranced and repelled by a remarkable book that cut to the heart of South Africa with its honesty and power. It still sells today. This book is a provocative and engaging collection of the best of his writings that have appeared in the likes of The New Yorker, Rolling Stone and Esquire, since My Traitor's Heart. Crisscrossing South Africa -- and further afield -- in a quest to understand the land and continent of his birth -- Malan does time with an extraordinary cast of characters: from vigilantes and outlaws to beauty queens and truckers; from Sol Kerzner to Jackie Selebi; from JM Coetzee to the last Afrikaner in Tanzania. Never one to avoid getting his hands dirty, nor shy of controversy, Malan's writing has landed him in hot water from just about everyone. Whether taking on the music industry, the government, or spending time with the AIDS denialists, he has earned the enmity of all. But Malan's honesty, his unwavering support for the underdog, and the unique power of his prose, make him one of South Africa's most important writers.
