"This is Rodney Clapp at his best. Whether talking about Elvis, the Eucharist, Christian hope, sex, or reality TV, Clapp is insightful, funny, earthy, challenging, and wise. In crafting a spirituality that takes seriously the bodily, historical, and social nature of human existence, Clapp shows what it means to make our way to God in a culture that encourages novelty and titillation more than holiness. Most of all, he demonstrates why Christian spirituality must be centered in the life and practices of the church. Rich with examples and practical illustrations, Tortured Wonders is a delight. This is a book that both transforms our lives and fills us with hope."--Paul J. Wadell, author of Becoming Friends
"This is the freshest contemporary approach to Christian spirituality that I am aware of. As spirituality becomes popular it is also threatened by clichés and superficiality. But not here: this is in-depth, rooted in the masters, shaped by the Eucharist, and all the while managing to maintain a civil conversation with American culture."--Eugene H. Peterson, The Message
"Confronting cliché Christian morality, Clapp argues for a holistic Christian spirituality dismissing the distance between flesh and soul. Skipping gleefully between philosophers and Elvis Presley, Clapp covers ground the Church needs to consider."--Winn Collier, Relevant
