About this book

Almost anything that is worth doing is a struggle. Almost anything that benefits other people is tough to do. Almost anything that makes a difference in this world is hard to see through to the end. Which is why, we’ll often do almost anything to escape doing it!

Yet we want to love people well, even when they’re difficult… tackle challenges that we find difficult… and keep moving forwards through times that prove difficult. Deep down we want to get on with doing hard things, fix what needs fixing and change what needs changing.

This book shows us how a bigger, better picture of Jesus will transform us. Our panic ...

Endorsements

We have made escapism a contact sport. We have so many devices and distractions to keep us busy from an involved life. This book is easy to read, full of self-deprecating humour with plenty of practical examples of people like you and me. Reading a book on escaping escapism is the easy bit, but Dave explores the wisdom contained in Scripture and a relationship with God to help us in our daily lives. This is a hopeful and encouraging book.

Michael Harvey Author of Unlocking the Growth; co-founder of Back to Church Sunday

What a fine and useful book! It is a really helpful combination of contemporary perception, Biblical insight, practical advice, and an attractive and compelling style. I had not realised my own brilliant escapist ability until I read this book: and it also gave me Biblical and Christ-centred hope!

Peter Adam former Principal of Ridley College, Melbourne; Vicar Emeritus of St Jude’s Carlton, Melbourne; author of Written for Us.

Refreshingly honest and regularly funny, Dave helps us to develop Christ-like, everyday courage by exposing our escapist hearts to who Jesus really is. However you might be seeking to escape from reality this wonderful book will help you return with real joy to the Good News that we so often fail to let determine every part of our lives.
