Break Open the Sky: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Break Open the Sky" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Compared to all previous generations, we are safer, live longer, hurt less, and earn more. Yet we are more afraid than ever. Fear has slipped into our souls, leaving us on edge and constantly anxious. No longer a safe harbor, a source of strength, or a bastion for love, faith has fallen prey to a culture of fear.
We face a defining moment. Will we cave to fear or rise in faith? Stephan Bauman, the former president of World Relief, has seen firsthand in some of the most difficult places in the world how it is possible to embrace love in the face of fear. Break Open the Sky is an invitation to live in authentic faith, free from fear and its debilitating symptoms.
By embracing Jesuss core yet counterintuitive teachings on truth, love, and risk, you can find freedom from the fear of the unknown, release from the uncertainty of the other, and liberation from the anxieties that hold you back.

Rarely do I read something with such deep spiritual analysis, profound insight, and poetic storytelling as Stephan Baumans new book Break Open the Sky. For those who think they already know the good news of Christ but still long for more, this short, honest, and beautifully written book is what you have been waiting for. Break Open the Sky is a timeless contribution to Christian and human spirituality.
K EN W YTSMA, president of Kilns College, founder of The Justice Conference, and the author of The Grand Paradox: The Messiness of Life, the Mystery of God and the Necessity of Faith
We live in a brave new world where terrorism, racism, and bigotry drive an engine of fear in our society and within our churches. Bauman tackles these topics head-on, compelling us by Gods love and exciting us by his grace to reject fear, embrace risk, and rediscover faith to care for people in the shadows. Break Open the Sky is a much-needed and valuable work that speaks to our current landscape in a fresh, new way.
E D S TETZER , Billy Graham Distinguished Endowed Chair for Church, Mission, and Evangelism, Wheaton College
A journey not for the faint of heart, Break Open the Sky is an invitation to live out an authentic faith in the midst of fear, an invitation to hope!
T OM L IN , president and CEO of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
Humanitarian Stephan Bauman has witnessed love conquering fears, but he has also seen fear stymie faiths best intentions. His lessons from his life of global service can help us shed our fears and reawaken our commitments to that sociological impossibility, the global Christian community.
D AVID N EFF , former editor in chief of Christianity Today (retired)

R EV. B ILL H ALEY , executive director of Coracle
In the tumultuous days we are living in, when fear seems to be overtaking the hearts of so many, Stephan Baumans Break Open the Sky comes like a torch in the darkness. This book amplifies the very good news of an upside-down kingdom and is a clarion call to live out a faith that is honest, gritty, and beautiful.
R OB M ORRIS , president and cofounder of Love146
Stephan has been an eyewitness to real fear factors that have disrupted lives and derailed nations. With this book Stephan delivers a rich treasure trove of personalities and stories accumulated in his journey through this globes minefield of violence, disaster, and disregard. This book is an entertaining and thought-provoking travel guide offering a way to joy in the midst of insecurity.
S TEVE H AAS , catalyst, World Vision
Stephan Baumans artistry with words puts a new lens on old truths and a new way to view the events of our day that leave me feeling encouraged and courageous. This book is a must read for individuals, small groups, and university classes who truly want to live as Gods peculiar peoplefearless when the world says to be fearful, seeing abundance when the world cleaves to its storehouses of wealth, seeing the other as the ones who Jesus calls us to reach out to, especially now.
D R. B ETH B IRMINGHAM , senior director of Leadership and Staff Development, Compassion International; Associate Faculty, Eastern University
Stephan Bauman is a unique mix of visionary, poet, strategist, and pastoral leader. Break Open the Sky is a book of hope in a world gripped by a culture of fear. Hope is out there. It may be messy and raw, but its glorious. Life isnt about living with an absence of fear; its about taking the risk to love anyway. Stephan points to a deeper understanding of the nature of God, one that hes witnessed firsthand in countless stories from around the world.

To all those who awaken and astonish from the edge.
You are my teachers.
We are not trapped or locked up in these bones.
No, no. We are free to change.
And love changes us.
And if we can love one another,
we can break open the sky.
Walter Mosley
There is no fear in love.
John, the disciple of Jesus
