If you don't mind being uncomfortable about Christian faith, this is a wonderful book. Shane keeps it real and tells his stories well. Also a book group title. A few folks were squirming and may have done a bit less shopping as a result. ( ) Some good points, but not well presented. The entire thing lacks dynamics, coming across scatter-brianed and vague. What exactly is the author asking of the reader? That they sell everything and join him on the streets? It isn't particularly clear, and the picture he paints of his experiences is surely unrealistic; it doesn't really prepare anyone who might follow suit or inform them of what to expect. The theology is weak and selective. Sometimes verses are drawn to help conlcusions, and sometimes they aren't... the cherry picking is all a bit convenient and the reading over-literal. Anecdotes and ramblings are many, often laced with incredibly cringe humour. I'm honestly not sure why he wrote the book. Either he's dancing round the subject, or there isn't one. Welcome to the irresistible revolution, a new and ancient way of life that is so attractive, who would settle for anything else? The revolution begins inside each of us, and through little acts of love, it will take over the world. Let us begin to be Christians again. Jesus, give us the courage. - Shane Claiborne geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Many of us find ourselves caught somewhere between unbelieving activists and inactive believers. We can write a check to feed starving children or hold signs in the streets and feel like we've made a difference without ever encountering the faces of the suffering masses. In this book, Shane Claiborne describes an authentic faith rooted in belief, action, and love, inviting us into a movement of the Spirit that begins inside each of us and extends into a broken world. Shane's faith led him to dress the wounds of lepers with Mother Teresa, visit families in Iraq amidst bombings, and dump $10,000 in coins and bills on Wall Street to redistribute wealth. Shane lives out this revolution each day in his local neighborhood, an impoverished community in North Philadelphia, by living among the homeless, helping local kids with homework, and "practicing resurrection" in the forgotten places of our world.--Publisher description.
