Review title: Simply profound
Product review: Shane drives an 18-wheeler right through this current bipartisan bickering as to which party best represents Jesus' teachings by stating flat out what it means to be a radical follower of the resurrected Christ. He hits the nail on the head when he observes, "When the church becomes a place of brokerage rather than an organic community, she ceases to be alive. The church becomes a distribution center, a place where the poor go to get stuff and the rich come to dump stuff. Both go away satisfied (the rich feel good, the poor get clothed and fed) but no one is transformed. And Jesus did not set up a program but modeled a way of living that incarnated the reign of God."This is not an easy read - I was reminded time and time again of those areas in my life when I have not followed Christ but my own desires. The questions he asks are difficult but necessary if we want to explore what it truly means to be a Christian.
