About this listen

Read by the author.

Room for Good Things to Run Wild is the antidote to widespread Christian malaise. If you feel like life is happening to you, that your faith has been reduced to trite platitudes, and that no matter how many new things you try, you still end up with a dissatisfying Christian life, this book offers relief from the mediocrity of Christian living through the sacred and satisfying journey of becoming an every day saint.

After spending too many days staring at the hamster cage of his uninspired life through the bottom of a glass of Scotch, Josh Nadeau knew there were only 2 ways left to go: further down or finally up. Disillusioned by his faith and disenchanted by the world around him, Josh chose up out of a desperation to discover the Jesus who had formed the saints of old.

Steeped in literature and doctrine, art and raw daily life and accompanied by original illustrations and living liturgy this book will bring you on the journey back to an embodied theology that understands that we know, not just with our minds, but also with our bodies. From Canada, to England, to Ireland and Spain, Josh follows the Jesus Way, teaching you how to be just as honest about the pain of your life as the pleasure of your life.

Rediscover the full and wild world that God has created for you in the way He has created you to experience it. Room for Good Things to Run Wild is a call into the Holy Ordinary; a new way to see that wakes the soul and satisfies the body.

Enlightening

This book did not take me more than a day to listen to on audible. It’s a book I was really looking forward to.

I’ve learned so much from following Josh‘s Instagram regarding theology and life. He takes beautiful art that makes you think and then makes you think for a long time more with a caption that is very thought provoking.

The book is read by the author. It’s relaxing to listen to. My heart was stirred. I enjoyed the audio so much, but I will be getting the hard copy so I can have the art.

Mastery of the Mundane

Josh took a journey we have all been invited. But only some of us will embrace. His ability to capture moments in snapshots held me in a trance of past, present, and future all at once.

I've had my own journey to embrace Heaven coming to earth. it didn't involve alcohol, but that isn't the point. Josh captures the hearts longing for something it hasn't found. He captured the hunger of the self, the hunger to the filled. Constantly devouring whatever it's given in hope of rest. Yet finding none.

Josh your faithfulness of writing this, walking through the difficulty, and finding rest on the other side is a gift to Jesus and to us.

Thank you for moving to the hidden music and producing fruit for our King.

A Raw Look at the Human Experience & How Jesus’ Love is Unfailing.

Josh gets vulnerable in this book and shows us that Jesus’ love for us is perfected in our weakness. I’m going to be listening to this book at LEAST once a year. Thank you Josh!

Beauty and Wisdom

This book is one that I will come back to often. A reminder to have eyes to see in the mundane, and to seek sainthood with dirty hands and with children waking in the night. Josh is such an encouragement to those of us who desire to abide in Christ, but not truly grasp what we’re doing.

“Lazarus, come out”

Poetry in prose. Love how details from little moments in author’s pov carry his thoughts forward. Listening for the 3rd time this week, need to soak in His truth made alive, as shared here
