 "Infectious" reading for ordinary folks August 11, 2008
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.
Irresistable Revolution August 3, 2008
This is the type of that can change the way you see your life. The author tries to show us who the the real Jesus was and what it means to follow him. This is the best book I've read in a long time. I highly recommend it.
 some good points but... July 28, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
it comes across at times very arrogant and very judgmental. I am in no way a rich and even less so a powerful person but I do have a very huge problem with those who condemn and judge those who are en masse. Jesus himself had his share of well to do friends. He just didn't come for the poor, he came for all. That UNIVERSAL message seems to be really missing from so many of these like minded books.
Also I realize the author is very young, hopefully in time, he'll learn the importance of humility.
Highly Recommend! July 21, 2008
Great book on how we have made the church into what we want instead of what Christ wants. Fantastic insight and certainly the author has a heart for Christ and thus a love for others. Even if you don't agree with all the authors opinions you cannot miss his sincerity. This book convicts the heart and places the burden on the reader to establish a change in their life.
Highly recommend!
