I'm a McLaren fan, let's just be honest. But what he's done to break down the walls that divide us is challenging, thoughtful, and commendable. While we're being honest, I should say that the first few chapters went by quickly and without much grounbreaking information for me. But by the time I got to his thoughts on being 'biblical' my mind was spinning with thoughts. He manages to take what has been lying in the back of my mind somewhere and lay it out clearly so that I say, 'Yes! That's what I was thinking, but I couldn't put it to words!' Also recommended: A New Kind of Christian, The Story We Find Ourselves In, Girl Meets God, Soul Survivor, Blue Like Jazz
This book is great for people struggling with their faith, or with other faiths. It gives hope of a 3rd option in Christianity instead of just Catholic or Protestant it adds the "Follower of Christ" just Jesus minus the gimmicks. I am very thankful for Brian McLaren's courage to step out and write a book like this knowing that many would reject it, but for most of us, this is what we have been looking for, a chance to be one with all other believers, so I hope you pick it up and dive into it. It is a pretty easy to understand book, but you will also come away having learned something.
Good format, lay out, price, and valuable information.
