I thought I was the only one who thought this way

I'm glad to know that I'm not.

This book points out a lot of biblical truths that we seem to have forgotten or blatantly ignored. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. There were some minor things that I disagreed with, and many things that I'm still mulling over. But the issues he brought up need to be thought and prayed over. Too many people don't consider them deeply enough. Even if you don't agree with some of his conclusions, if it makes you truly and deeply think about the issues, it's worth it.

It's also a very easy read. His writing style is funny and serious at the same time. I enjoyed his humor and straightforwardness very much.

Spectacular

This book is life changing. Read it if you deeply desire a new way of life and are tired of seeing dilution of the church and it's foundation take place.

Irresistible

This book knocked me on my but. I don't agree with everything Shane says, but this book is an eye opener. Just when I thought I had it all together, this young man challenges the way I live my faith. The book is not for wimps.

Life changing!

Thank you, Shane Claiborne, for daring to ask questions that most Christians don't have the courage to ask themselves! I don't agree with everything in this book (the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy would revoke my membership if I did), but that is truly beside the point. Shane's honesty and insight allowed me to see the disparity between what I believed and how I lived. This is a "feel-good" book of a different ilk. If you're like me, you'll have to work through the shame, grief and disgust you intitially feel about your failures before the excitement and freedom of seeing the truth clearly finally kicks in.

Awesome Read if you minus the Anti War Jargon

What a great book that challenges us to TRULY live like Jesus. Let's all stop talking about how Jesus lived and actually start DOING it. My husband has started a non profit organization and we are going to be movinng to live on the POOR side of town so we can be a part of their lives and hopefully offer them some help and hope. WE NEED MORE CHRISTIANS LIKE THIS who have SACRAFICIAL LOVE for the people around them. We have entirely too many rich people in this country for us to still have homeless people here. The whole redistribution thing is great, but it has to be something that is organic and not forced.

I didn't care for all the anti-war jargon in the book, but I do like the idea of peace. There were wars in the Bible and God actually commanded some of them so I find it hard to believe that God is against ALL war.

Overall, I would recommend this book for it's challenging look at how the Gospel is supposed to be "lived out". Let's stop spending millions on megachurches and start using that money to help out the needy.
