God In Us is a radical representation of the Christian faith for the 21st century. Following the example of the Old Testament prophets and the first-century Christians it overturns received ideas about God. God is not an invisible person 'out there' somewhere, but lives in the human heart and mind as 'the sum of all our values and ideals' guiding and inspiring our lives. This new updated edition includes a foreword by Bishop John Shelby Spong and an afterword from the author.

"[B]rilliantly lucid, clear, common-sense and to-the-point style." Philosophy Now "This discussion must help both believers and enquirers to a deeper understanding of their religious impulses." Epworth Review "A brave and very well-written book." The Freethinker "Anthony Freeman is asking exactly the questions that the Christianity of the twenty-first century needs to be asking. I find myself admiring his courage, his honesty and his incredible willingness to be vulnerable. I am drawn deeply to the integrity of his personal struggle... Those who are familiar with my work must surely know that... I come to quite different conclusions. [Yet] Anthony Freeman's is a life we need to honour, and a message we need to hear." -- John Shelby Spong, author 'Christianity Must Change or Die'
