Summary

 In a time of compromise and disillusionment, God is calling his people to a movement of beautiful resistance.
 
We live in a time when our culture is becoming increasingly shallow, coarse, and empty. Radical shifts in the areas of sexuality, ethics, technology, secular ideologies, and religion have caused the once-familiar landscape of a generation ago to be virtually unrecognizable.
 
Yet rather than shine as a beacon of light, the church often is silent or accommodating. This isn’t a new phenomenon. During World War II, pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was deeply troubled by the compromise in the German church. Their capitulation to the Nazi party brought shame and dishonor to the gospel. In response, he helped create an underground movement of churches that trained disciples and ultimately sought to renew the church and culture of the day.
 
In our compromised church, we need new underground movements of discipleship and resistance. Widely respected New York pastor Jon Tyson unveils a revived vision for faithful discipleship—one that dares to renew culture, restore credibility, and replace compromise with conviction.
 
For all who have felt this conflict in the soul between who we are and who God calls us to be, Beautiful Resistance is a bold invitation to reclaim what’s been lost—regardless of the cost.

This audiobook includes a study guide as a bonus PDF.

Praise for Beautiful Resistance

“Beautiful Resistance is one of the most compelling and defiant books I’ve read in a long time. I love Jon’s radical, no-messing vision of the church as a prophetic community. This is a wake-up call for us all from the heart of a man who lives his message, loves his city, and serves his Lord with a passion and intelligence destined to become less rare.”—Pete Greig, founder of the 24-7 Prayer movement Christian Living Christianity

Seriously, get this book in paper don’t listen to it on audible. I genuinely drifted off several times. Which is almost impossible when listening to Jon Tyson. Please guys get this re-recorded! It’s too important to message and to go to book to leave a listener underwhelmed.

First chapter was hard going, the rest is challenge after challenge. I don’t generally do books twice but may have to to remind me to take action on so many areas.

Great book

An incredibly well-written, insightful, thought-provoking book. Jon Tyson has taught me a lot about the traditions and history of the Christian faith, as well as provided me practical applications for how to better live and make disciples in the world today. The book is littered with stories of the lives of saints, whose testimonies serve to inspire and ignite a passion to seek Christ and share the gospel.
Beautifully read by Sean Pratt and Jon Tyson. Highly recommend this book.

Insightful and inspiring

Tyson beautifully weaves the story of Bonhoeffer with threads from Richard Foster and his own experience working in NYC. A call to resist the cultural environment in specific ways - particularly loved the call from cynicism to celebration.

Excellent
