The church shouldn't do worship, the charts have it covered -- On not getting what you want, and liking it -- Hiding behind the mask that we are -- Be part of the problem, not the solution -- Trash of the world -- The fool says in his heart, "There is knowing god" -- I need your eyes in order to see myself -- Destroying Christianity and other Christian acts -- Want to lose belief?: join the church -- Conclusion: a faith full of signs and wonders.

We must lay down our certainties and honestly admit our doubts to identify with Jesus. Rollins purposely upsets fundamentalist certainty in order to open readers up to a more loving, active manifestation of Christ's love. He explores how the Good News actually involves embracing the idea that we can't be whole, that life is difficult, and that we are in the dark. By joyfully embrace our brokenness, and courageously accept the difficulties of existence, we truly rob death of its sting and enter into the fullness of life.
