Der Schrei der Wildgänse

Christ has set us free for freedom! So stand firm and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery! (Gal 5:1). How can we, as individuals and in community, practically live in this freedom to which Christ has liberated us today? How can we expose the religious constraints that seek to rob us of this freedom time and again? The authors have not written a non-fiction book on these questions, but instead take us into the thrilling story of Jake Colsen. At the beginning, Jake, still a co-pastor of a free church, was content with his Christian faith and church life until events in his life raise some questions for him, and until he meets a stranger who cannot be categorized. This stranger speaks of Jesus as if he had known him personally. His way of living shakes Jake's previous convictions to the core. Could he be John, the disciple whom Jesus said might live until he returns? The Cry of the Wild Geese describes in thirteen encounters what Jake experiences with this strange stranger. With his help, Jake manages to face his greatest fears, navigate extremely difficult circumstances, and ultimately experience a joy and freedom he could only dream of before. This extraordinary story will make you laugh and cry, and you will marvel at the Father's love for all his children in awe! It is a challenge to rethink what church/community is ultimately about.
