 Highly Recommend! July 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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!

Life changing revolution! July 8, 2008
I first read this book last year and it really helped change my perspective on the priorities of "living the American dream" versus the life that Jesus calls us to. One of my favorite concepts from the book was how Shane referenced being a full-time lover as his occupation in life: a lover of God and a lover of people. I can only strive to live the same way!
An Irresistible Revolution...the Simple Way July 3, 2008
If you're ready to roll up your sleeves, and march in God's army, pick up a copy of The Irresistible Revolution and get ready to load up on some serious ammunition. And for good measure, you'll also get a fresh compass and a friend to help you dig out of the trenches and be counted as a radical who is courageous and foolish enough to stand out as a true follower of Christ.
From the streets of Calcutta, to war-zones of Iraq, to neighbourhood slums, to money-multiplying Wall Street, Shane Claiborne transports the face of Christ into a suffering and lonely world. In Irresistible Revolution, he converts his stories into a compelling case for the "ordinary radical" . His down to earth style will engage you, much like a conversation with an old friend. But be prepared, much of what he has to say is far from comfortable. In these pages you will be dared to take up your cross, and tear down some walls. You will hear first hand of the miracle of community, of working together, being one body in Christ. You will be asked to drop the rock of unforgiveness and embrace the poor, the needy and the "ugly". And kiss complacency good-bye.
Watch out for the gut-wrenching and heart-breaking moments laced in pain...and some joyful, triumphant ones. Watch how you never lose the distinct feeling that Jesus is right there walking through every page as you read along. You will sense his presence watching over you, holding out His hand, insisting, "Come follow me...come and see." Watch yourself capture a fresh and renewed understanding of who Jesus was and what He asks of you...and behold the absolute ironic beauty of a revolution (a heart revolv-ing around Him) that is truly irresistible.
