Book Reviews of A New Kind of Christian: A Tale of Two Friends on a Spiritual Journey
Book Review: "A New Kind of Christian"
Summary: 5 Stars
Brian D. McLaren, in his book, "A New Kind of Christian" does a superb job of getting at the heart of what needs to happen within Christianity as society moves into the future. While his friend "NEO" seems larger than life, the issues raised and insights given are exactly what needs to be addresed in our time. A refocusing of our own faith and how we look at "church" becomes a major issue in our widely diversified church culture. The old and current way of being church is breaking down and new concepts must emerge. The one quote which will stay with me is, "...church doesn't exist for the benefit of its members. It exists to equip its members for the benefit of the world" That says it all.
Summary of A New Kind of Christian: A Tale of Two Friends on a Spiritual Journey
A Leadership Network PublicationA New Kind of Christian's conversation between a pastor and his daughter's high school science teacher reveals that wisdom for life's most pressing spiritual questions can come from the most unlikely sources. This stirring fable captures a new spirit of Christianity--where personal, daily interaction with God is more important than institutional church structures, where faith is more about a way of life than a system of belief, where being authentically good is more important than being doctrinally "right," and where one's direction is more important than one's present location. Brian McLaren's delightful account offers a wise and wondrous approach for revitalizing Christian spiritual life and Christian congregations.
