life changing

I was sharing my views on the state of North American Christianity and was contacted be a friend hasn't spoken to in over a decade. We had a conversation about fundamental Christianity and I was sharing my decade long journey of deconstructing my faith. My friend said I sounded like I had read Brian Zahnd. I had not so I took the time to read this book.

I felt as if the book had been written to me and the author, fsr more eloquently, put words to the thoughts and ideas that have been bouncing around in my mind.

The book offer a view of Christianity that embraces doubt, releases the certainty of fundamentalism and call the believer back to the moment they knew Jesus was the Messiah.

I have walked away from a fundamentalist cult that raised me in my formative years. I have walked away from evangelicalism that values the body and the church above all else.

I believe in my core that the message tought by Jesus calls us to bring heaven to earth, To prioritize generosity, inclusion and equality and to put aside the insipid culture wars and show Christ to the world.

This is a book for those who believe there is a better way or who are questioning the literal certainty of the modern church. I highly recommend this book.
