"Michael Frost has a knack for packing a prophetic punch through compelling stories and illustrations. Incarnate uses story, philosophy and theology correctively and formatively to remind Christians about our posture in an ever-changing world."

"Much ink has been spilt in the search for the perfect adjective to describe what the Church is called to be. Incarnate may be one of the best. The Church is to be the Body of Christ at work in the world. Frost calls the Church to its original mission and provides a vision for finding our way back, providing insights into forces that keep us from experiencing the kingdom."

"Frost's cultural reach is wide, and his enthusiasm for his topic is sincere. His analysis of culture should provoke thought and discussion in church circles and prove worthwhile for pastors."

"Written by an Australian missiologist, this book examines the church in an age of unprecedented rootlessness, addiction, ambiguity, and disengagement—an age of 'excarnation.' Frost digs deep into the manure and mulch of contemporary culture to extract a living, breathing body of believers."

"Pastors should be students of culture so they can engage their people with the gospel more effectively. This book brings to light the slow cultural drift that a lot of Christians and some churches are experiencing, and it points us back to Christ."

"Frost hooked me—my whole person—with his writing. Michael has an easy style. His lovely prose takes us places with words; his metaphors are moving. I smiled as he referenced important movie ideas. Frost masterfully navigates natural history from Ireland to Hawai'I. He weaves pithy anecdotes with reflective quotations. . . . Incarnate concludes with strong praxis. The author's focus on non-anxious leadership mirrors his concern that our solutions are not one-size-fits-all. Frost's missional heartbeat raises important questions. . . . Here Michael Frost and I and all the Church can join hands to celebrate our monochotism. Our wholeness shows the whole gospel."

"Incarnate is a thought-provoking analysis of the excarnate nature of contemporary society and church life, together with a prescription for a more down-to-earth incarnational approach for engaging local and global needs and everyday life, for forming missional leaders and by extension for theological education."

"Incarnate is a good introduction to the topical and important issue of embodied anthropology and would be accessible to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. . . . Frost arguably leads the way in exploring the implications of embodied conceptions of personhood for the missional conversation and for this, at least, his book is well worth reading."
