That's the book for next month. It's been a huge hit since it came out and has been very influential, especially among college age Christians. I finally got around to reading it after fifty different 20-year-olds told me that it changed their life. I think Claiborne really captures the radical call of Jesus in an accessible way. And, unlike last month's selection, you can find it just about anywhere. But here's an Amazon link just in case: http://www.amazon.com/Irresistible-Revolution-Living-Ordinary-Radical/dp/0310266300/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235142451&sr=8-1 This is one of those books that I think is worth a read even when you find yourself disagreeing with what Claiborne has to say, or wishing that he would tone down his criticisms, because he's managed to capture a prevalent mindset in the younger generation. Claiborne helps you understand the folks who really love Jesus and are frustrated by church. [This article was edited 2 times, at last 20.02.2009 at 10:16.] |

My 8 1/2 month pregnant wife has decided that perhaps we should move our next meeting to another home. The Beyers have agreed to host us. Unless we're in the hospital that night, I'll see you there! |
