It is so funny how our lives start out "learning to read", and then as we progress, we "read to learn." I am finally at that place in my life where I am reading to learn. Even in high school, it was more like reading because I had to. But now I am finally there. Anyway, I have been reading this book called 'Jesus wants to save Christians' that I highly suggest and I thought I would share with you just a glimpse of what it is about. Here is the excerpt from the back of the book...
There is a church not too far from us that recently added a $25 million addition to their building.Our local newspaper ran a front-page story not too long ago about a study revealing that one in five people in our city lives in poverty.
This is a book about those two numbers.
It's a book about faith and fear,
wealth and war,
poverty, power, safety, terror,
Bibles, bombs, and homeland insecurity,
It's about empty empires and the truth that everybody's a priest, it's about oppression, occupation, and what happens when Christians support, animate and participate in the very things Jesus came to set people free from.
It's about what it means to be a part of the church of Jesus in a world where some people fly planes into buildings while others pick up groceries in Hummers.
