This stirring fable captures a new spirit of Christianity - where personal, daily interaction with God is more important than institutional church structures, where faith is more about a way of life than a system of belief, where being authentically good is more important than being doctrinally "right," and where one's direction is more important than one's present location. Brian McLaren's delightful account offers a wise and wondrous approach for revitalizing Christian spiritual life and Christian congregations.

Where does New Kind of Christian rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Probably one of the best, most life-changing books I've encountered so far. The audio delivery was incredible, especially the accents and voices of the characters. Being a voice actor myself, I was really impressed.What was one of the most memorable moments of New Kind of Christian?
It wasn't a major event, just a comment. Neo talked about care of his elderly mother as ministry. The priesthood of all believers is a profound and sorely neglected truth.Have you listened to any of Paul Michael’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This was my first. It was great.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No.Any additional comments?
Don't come to this book for pat answers. If you're the kind of person who needs to have you faith life "tilled" this is a good book for you. It will give you a lot to think about, it will reframe a lot of issues, it will put back to square one in a new world, but it will give you hope that Christianity doesn't have to continue to fade away.Revolutionary!

The 4/5:
From my perspective, his basic premise of needing a new kind of christian is absolutely right on. I'm not totally sure that the word Christian is worth salvaging from the mess people have made of it. Jesus said a lot of good things and is definitely worth following. There is a lot of controversy here that I don't feel compelled to get involved in at the moment.
The 1/5:
In the intro the author acknowledges one of the big problems: the over-usage of the now somewhat over-generalized terms of modern and post modern. This is probably the biggest single part of his argument, and yes, like the author acknowledges, it is too general. It needs to be more specific about which "Post-" he is talking about.
I'm frustrated with the end of the book. Much of the talk throughout the book is about transcending organization yet mcclaren closes it with how to box up this "outside of the box" movement. It is organic, right? Alright then, let it be organic!
It is easy to see his attempt at writing a good story falling into the cheesy category (and he admits it). He is also dealing with a lot of modern philosophy like Michael Polanyi who seems like he was big for the author, but I think the example falls flat to me. Perhaps if I knew more about Michael Polanyi it would help. I'm interested in him now. As one who has got into a lot of Biblical studies there's a number of places that are for and against his argument he could have used. I also would have liked to see some interaction with the new england transcendentalists of the 1800s (Thoreau, Emerson) who (as post-puritans) I think contribute very deeply to this discussion.
I admit I have not read any other more recent mcclaren books and perhaps the more recent editions contain further thinking...However, I fear he is missing that furthest step into authenticity he needs for a fifth star from me. If you are really interested in a book that transcends McClaren's transcending ideas check out Anton zijderveld and peter zerger's "in praise of doubt" and for the more specific to Christianity/the church, (and a very easy read!) i would make sure to read Shane hipps' "selling water by the river".

I accidentally read this in reverse order: I have already read book 2, which is The Story We Find Ourselves In. And I love that one even more.
Conversation, community, Christ centered

In the same way early Star Trek episodes addressed racism through demonstrating teamwork that crossed races and even universes in a form of palatable fiction and CS Lewis and other great theological thinkers presented tough truths through the story, this book demonstrates the skillful use of story to provoke much needed thinking.
Oh, and the narration of the audiobook is stellar! The actor captured the heart of the characters in his narration as well as the writer did in crafting the story.
I highly recommended this work. I was sad when the recording ended and will listen again very soon!
Bravo! Tough Truth goes Down Better told as a Great Story

The Narrator is terrific! He brings the book to life in a new way. And, the Jamaican accent adds a realistic and warming touch.
A Paradigm Shifting Book with Great Narration!!
