Summary

A 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.

What Christianity needs today

I love the work of Brian McLaren.
His book opens up a new way of thinking about religion and how to be a new kind of Christian within it.

a challenging read

my reactions to this book were akin to Disney's Rapunzel after she left the tower, swinging from Joy and excitement to loss and fear in a moment. this book will challenge and excite any Christian who has ever thought "is this it?.
McLaren offers a glimpse into a different possibility of Christianity. a departure from what has been into what could be.
I found the accents a little distracting but not enough to affect the content. This book allows for a different kind of conversation to begin, it is a catalyst for real discourse. "What if Salvation is an invitation to become part of the solution instead of part of the problem" ... let the conversation begin.

Excellent and thought provoking.

In this book Christians are challenged and thoughts developed in helpful practical ways to encourage a new way of engaging the world.
