This book unpacks seven core values of the Christian life, giving young people a simple framework for an active faith that goes against the grain of an 'all about me' culture.
You are not the centre of the universe.
When we're so focused on our own lives and concerns, it's easy to forget that the world doesn't revolve around us. This book unpacks seven core values of the Christian life - with God at the centre - exploring whether this in fact is a much more fulfilling way to live.
Offering a new vision of the Christian faith for today's generation, this lively, engaging look at discipleship is full of warmth and practical advice, making it the perfect introduction for young people looking to follow Jesus.
— Andy Croft, Joint Senior Pastor, Soul Survivor Watford
"God makes sense of who you are at the deepest level, so the dreams and purpose God has for you have the power to bring about a stun ning revolution at the core of your life. In this brilliant book, Martin powerfully and practically helps you to explore how finding yourself in God's orbit will open you up to the life you were always made to live."
— Rachel Gardner, Director of National Work, Youthscape
"Martin Saunders is a brilliant guide for anyone trying to get their heads around following Jesus in a way that really works. I trust him, respect him and like him a lot. I think that, after reading this book, you'll feel the same way too."
— Pete Greig, 24-7 Prayer International and Emmaus Rd Church
"Ever since I heard Martin extol the concept behind satellites, I was hooked. This is exactly the whole-life Christianity we all need. Goodbye to the quick-fix, just-add-boiling-water experience - what we desire more than anything for ourselves and particularly for our young people is a compelling, creative, beautiful and challenging vision of life lived in every way and direction around and for Jesus."
— The Revd Canon Chris Russell, the Archbishop of Canterbury's Advisor for Evangelism and Witness
"This is my new go-to book to recommend for young people. If you're wrestling with your faith, or curious as to whether there is a God worth revolving your whole life around, We Are Satellites is worth a read. The way this book is written so naturally and passionately, you can tell that Martin has decades of wisdom, experience and conver sations with young people about faith behind his words. This book will kick-start your journey towards trusting God or energize you to keep going, to keep discovering more of Jesus and his vision for the world. I hope that every young person reads this book and then shares it with a friend. The more of us who can know and live as if we are satellites orbiting around God and his love, the better the world will be."
— Miriam Swanson, Global Student Mission Leader, Fusion
