Book Reviews of The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical

Book Review: "Infectious" reading for ordinary folks
Summary: 5 Stars

Definitely worth reading. Will be a 'tough' read for most of us as it lays out what being a true christian is and most of us aren't even close to living it out as it's spelled out here..and I tend to agree with this 'brothas overarching view. However, it does offer a glimpse of hope...even if we all have to take little steps everyday to achieve it and some of the stories he tells are truly uplifting. True there's not much in the way of "middle ground" offered or a step by step guide as pointied out by several reviewers...but that's not the point...Jesus didn't give 49% or 90% effort. It WAS all or nothing. I think what needs to be expanded on is ok, for some, all or nothing might be difficult for most of us, b/c we're already born in and entrenched in the capital economy...we didn't really choose it, we're here now...where can indivuals (with debt, child support, existing health issues, etc) begin. I think if Shane extends more on the "little things" that can lead us as individuals to becoming a true Christian...it would make it more inviting and at least more understanding for some of those on this list of reviewers. Shane, don't stop what you're doing. It is inspiring and yes infectious.
