Choke 470 reviews Chuck Palahniuk
Anchor, 2008
Funny, strange, disturbing, good
This is the first Palahniuk book I've read, and I look forward to reading more of his books.
Based upon the description of the book, this isn't one that I'd likely pick up to read...the redemption/recovery/whatever you call it of a sex addict just didn't seem that interesting. However, ...

Everything Must Change: Jesus, Global Crises, and a Revolution of Hope 41 reviews Brian D. McLaren
Thomas Nelson, 2007
I agree with this book's author!
+ Don't fear the bad reviews! + Emerging Church & the alternative framing story of hope
I agree with this book's author! I am very pleased to see that there are some Christians who care about making the world we are living in a better place. Like Brian McLaren, I don't approve of Christians who don't care about how bad the world we are living in is, as long as they go to Heaven when ...

A New Kind of Christian: A Tale of Two Friends on a Spiritual Journey 154 reviews Brian D. McLaren
Jossey-Bass, 2001
Jaded about Church? Here's an attitude shift.
+ "A New Kind of Christian"
An attitude shift of looking at how we do our Christianity, how we live it, and how it is expressed by us. There are some controversial points in the book however at it's core, it is calling us to be real and doesn't compromise the message of the Bible at all. It calls us to work with a new ...

Pagan Christianity?: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices 209 reviews Frank Viola, George Barna
BarnaBooks, 2008
The Real Thing and Nothing Less
+ Are you SURE you're ready for this??? + A Blessed Read!!!
In my lifetime, I've watched institutional Christianity lose influence in the public and private sectors. I've seen friends that I grew up with fall away from belief. Marriages have crumbled in the church. The Christian world has become increasingly disengaged from the issues of real life, while ...

Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality 456 reviews Donald Miller
Thomas Nelson, 2003
Blue Like Jazz
+ Read it.
In my opinion this book presents a ground-breaking philosophy to the Christian community as well as anyone who enjoys thought provoking literature. A must read. "Searching For God Knows What" by the same author is just as good, if not better!

Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith 116 reviews Rob Bell
Zondervan, 2006
An Appeal to Think
+ A Fresh Look at Faith
I consider myself theologically conservative. While some reviews portrayed the book as a liberal treatise, I did not see it in this way. What I took away most from the book is the need to continuously challenge, re-think, and revisit doctrine. Bell also did a good job of putting things in ...
