English term or phrase: gripping reality
From one heartbeat to the next, your pleasant, predictable pleasure cruise is plunged into the life and death urgency of a rescue at sea. In 12 breath-taking minutes, everything you thought you knew about yourself, your church, and your fundamental purpose is turned upside down! Comfortable detachment meets ***gripping reality***. Lives – souls! – are at stake.What should you do? What will you do? Imagine the conversations that will start.
