Book Review: Serious Messages Delivered in Light Style
Summary: 4 Stars
The material in this book, the second in a series, is taken from Ask the Bible Geek, the online column by Mark Hart, a youth minister and vice president of Life Teen International. Roughly a dozen questions are presented in each of five chapters on encountering God in difficult times, during advent and Christmastime, during Lent and Easter, during ordinary time, and all the time. The two-to-three page topics are formatted with scripture passages, question, situation, and solution based on Christian teaching.
The chapter on Lent includes a question about abstaining from eating meat. Hart reviews possible explanations such as the early church's efforts to support fishermen, then shares his own preference: Jesus' offering his flesh on the cross. "When I go through the incredibly minor act of abstaining from meat on Fridays," he explains, "it is just one tiny act of self-sacrifice that points me back to that awful but Good Friday." Though Hart presents serious messages related to scripture, he favors a light style with examples geared to youth. In a reflection on playing cards with Jesus, he suggests that anyone with Jesus as a partner "can win at all of life's deals." He continues the theme, calling the serpent in the Garden of Eden a "joker (instead of the loser that he is)," who didn't know "jack" and his lies were not more than a "flush down the toilet." The devil, he writes, wants us to believe heaven "is a full house... but Jesus calls his bluff, reminding us that in His Father's house there are many rooms."
Bible Geek is a suitable resource for individual teens, youth ministers, and intergenerational faith sharing groups.
