Book Reviews of Jesus Wants to Save Christians: A Manifesto for the Church in Exile
Book Review: What kind of Church, and so what?
Summary: 5 Stars
Sub-titled, 'A Manifesto for the Church in Exile', this is Rob Bell at his best.
Using the story of the Israelites and their journey from Egypt (in slavery) to Sinai (how to live in freedom) to Jerusalem (how they failed) to Babylon (the consequences), Bell begins to outline how we as Christians, and the church, should live in this world and seek to change the world for the better.
This is not about empire building, such as some Christians (particularly in the US think) but being people of change within the empire, like Jesus, and seeking to bring change from within.
It's challenging and written in Bell's refreshing style (often one sentence paragraphs!) and I found it is exactly the sort of 'manifesto' for describing what type of Christian we are to be, and what the church should be like, and should be doing (caring for the poor, fighting injustice, introducing people to Jesus).
Highly recommended.
