Publisher's summary

Many of us find ourselves caught somewhere between unbelieving activists and inactive believers. We can write a check to feed starving children or hold signs in the streets and feel like we've made a difference without ever encountering the faces of the suffering masses. In this book, Shane Claiborne describes an authentic faith rooted in belief, action, and love, inviting us into a movement of the Spirit that begins inside each of us and extends into a broken world.

Shane's faith led him to dress the wounds of lepers with Mother Teresa, visit families in Iraq amidst bombings, and dump $10,000 in coins and bills on Wall Street to redistribute wealth. Shane lives out this revolution each day in his local neighborhood, an impoverished community in North Philadelphia, by living among the homeless, helping local kids with homework, and "practicing resurrection" in the forgotten places of our world.

Shane's message will comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable...but will also invite us into an irresistible revolution. His is a vision for ordinary radicals ready to change the world with little acts of love.

Exactly what the Church needs!

Shane’s words are a prophetic call back to the basics of Jesus. I wish I’d read it years ago! I challenge every Christian to be brave enough to read this with an open heart. I highly recommend the audiobook version, Shane’s personality and heart for Jesus shines through!

Clarity of Vision

A truly inspiring book. this perspective really opened my eyes to a way of life in the rest of Jesus. I had decided that the way modern church was being done was hurting more than helping and then this book found me. Highly recommend it for a refined foundation of the gospel.

Radical

This book was a game changer for me. I highly recommend this as a medicine to American evangelicalism.

Tolstoys "What I believe", updated for our time

Most likely you will agree with Shane, and you will want to change your life/view/world. But even if you dont, you'll still find it a facinating listen.

It will move your soul!

If you have been feeling downhearted or overwhelmed by the state of the world..This is fresh nourishment to your heart and soul!
Prepare to be challenged and empowered to live wholeheartedly for Jesus outside of just what is culturally acceptable.

Great insight to true Christianity

As a newer Christian, previously disappointed and driven away from all things religion, this book really was enlightening and encouraging. Though I don't necessarily agree with all points of view, overall, fantastic. It was also nice to hear an author read their own work.
