Dolphins radiate with a freedom and simplicity that most humans long for. In his new book, The Porpoise-Given Life: Inspiration from the Cetacean Nation, pastor and punster Chris Hughes explores life through a
dolphin's eyes. Weaving biblical
truth and ecological insight, Hughes offers thoughtful perspectives on challenging global issues such as
climate change, poverty and hunger, and clean water. Hughes' engaging postmodern counterpoint to The Purpose-Driven Life invites followers of Jesus to embrace living with passionate purpose and joy, and provides countless fresh and fun ideas for
joining in God's ongoing work of bringing good news to the creation.
“Chris Hughes has produced a firecracker of a book to throw into every crowd of cranky, contentious, humorless Christians. Read The Porpoise-Given Life, and many times your mouth will fill up with one of the best sounds in the world: laughter. Am I the only one out there who wants to die laughing?"
Leonard Sweet
“Chris Hughes tosses science and spirituality into a blender and pours out a cosmic cocktail guaranteed to make you smile.”
Rev. Howard Hanger
“This book provides fun yet soul-quenching waters in which to play around with porpoise-given ideas. Reflection questions and activities are provocative, resulting in a ‘whale-of-a-good-experience’ for individuals or groups.”
