Title: Messy Spirituality is good . . . but not great
Review: As always, Yaconelli (like Brennan Manning and others) does a great job presenting the graciousness of the great God we serve. In his book, we are reminded time and time again of the Jesus who ministered to lost people, the blind, the lame, the social outcasts, prostitutes and the emotionally hurt. It is a challenge to every Christ-follower to mimic the love of Christ. I heard recently John Wesley encouraged people to preach 90% law and 10% grace. Now I am not jumping on that bandwagon, but the big thing about grace is it's real only if we understand our total depravity, guilt before a holy God, and eternal punishment if we do not accept the Savior's blood on our behalf. I wish Mike Yaconelli would have reminded us of those truths as well, and the true Gospel is both Law and Grace.
