Margins Of The Kingdom

The Kingdom does not begin at the center. It begins at the edges—where the wounded walk, where shame hides, where fear whispers, and where Christ chooses to stand.The Margins of the Kingdom is a pilgrimage through the overlooked stories of Scripture—stories many of us heard growing up but never truly listened to. The Samaritan woman, the bleeding woman, the leper, the centurion, the blind man, the criminal on the cross… each reveals a truth we desperately need: Jesus meets us where we feel most unworthy.Through vivid retellings, pastoral reflection, and gentle benedictions, this book invites readers to walk the dusty roads where Christ slowed His steps for the shamed, the fearful, the isolated, and the forgotten. These encounters are not interruptions to His mission—they are His mission.Across fifteen chapters, you will discover:•     Shame met with dignity•     Fear met with tenderness•     Isolation met with touch•     Condemnation met with mercy•     Doubt met with peace•     Failure met with restoration•     Division met with unityThis is not a commentary. It is a journey. A companion for those who feel like outsiders looking in. A reminder that the table at the edge is already set—and your seat is waiting.For the wounded. For the searching. For the ones who wonder if they belong.The margins are not places of exile. They are places of encounter.
