review 1: There are many widely differing reviews of this book, but I will in brief say that I found it fascinating, thought provoking and definitely worth reading. This is the 3rd of Brian McLaren's books I have read and had the privilege of hearing him speak at my church recently. In my opinion, taking another look at what we believe and why we believe it as Christians is needed and of value in our time of history. It's actually something that Christians have done throughout the 2000 years of our existence, as did our forebears, the Jews. I especially appreciate the description of the various quests of humanity through the last 4000 years to understand themselves and God in the section, "what do we do now?"
review 2: Was this the best book I ever read? It just might... more be. Brian McLaren has had to endure a fair amount of criticism and ridicule over this book (and others). His writing has made him both a target and a beacon. Perhaps this is the destiny of all visionaries and prophets. For many years I have been overly concerned with orthodoxy, with being right, with holding to true doctrine (as defined by ???? [the orthodoxy police?]). How strange and contrary to the character of God. What a waste!Yet, how necessary the journey. Years of training and nurture cannot be undone in an instant. Walking with God, loving God, loving his creation: these things fill my heart with joy and gratitude. And I'm glad to know I'm not alone. Need some encouragement? Ready to stop worrying about what others will think? Want to take the next step along life's path? Would you like to change the world? Then maybe this book will be worth your time. less
