“In Metanoia, Hirsch and Kelly offer insightful answers to important missiological questions: What if, instead of following old models, we turned to God for new ideas? What if, instead of holding onto the past, we sought God’s future? Metanoia brilliantly explains how repentance realigns our hearts with God’s and creates a shift that prepares his people to reach the world in brand new ways.”

“The church needs a course correction! Far beyond the guilt and shame frameworks of repentance we have previously held to, this book beckons us to consider metanoia as the radical paradigm shift we need in order to see with fresh eyes the beauty awaiting us in Christ. Compelling, hopeful, and unflinching, Metanoia is a masterful book that every Christian leader should read.”

“This book comes at a time when it is deeply needed, as the church continues to recover from a global pandemic, as well as navigating racial unrest, political polarization, and the need for a new awakening within evangelicalism. Within these pages you will gain insights that hopefully lead you as church leaders to rediscover biblical rootedness, reimagine the mission of the church, and re-engage cultures for a greater advancement of the kingdom of God.”

“Every once in a while, I find myself reading a book that I have to close. It’s too much, too good…It’s so overwhelmingly true and hopeful, that it shifts the foundation of my soul. With the WHY linked with the HOW, Alan and Rob plumb the depths of Jesus and emerge with a way forward for all of us, individually and collectively—a force, perhaps like the one that caused the disciples to drop everything and follow.”

“Coming to terms with, and applying, the grace implicit in discovering and admitting error (our own not others) may be the most important competency of our time. This book is a master class, a philosophical tour de force—a profound, transformative, and luminous work.”

“Every Christian leader who longs for personal, church, or organizational transformation needs to read this book! Alan and Rob aren’t just talking about distant theories; they are speaking of what they know and have experienced for themselves. Get ready for true and radical change when you apply the wisdom from these trusted guides.”

“The body of Christ is the hope of the world, but is there hope for the church? Hirsch and Kelly have gifted us with eyes to see that we are living in a kairos moment in time, and that if we choose continual metanoia, God can shift the tracks of history through us.”

“This book is like Lady Wisdom crying out in the streets, inviting people to open their minds and soften their hearts to receive the precious, life-altering, beautiful, good news of Jesus. Read it and weep. Your tears will turn to joy as the One who holds our lives and future comes into clearer view.”
