Thoughtful Perspective

I appreciate. Bryan McLaren's unorthodox viewpoint of the plan of God and the love of Christ. It is a good alternative to Fundamentalist Christianity's viewpoint of our life in Christ as violent warfare against all who disagree with us and our interpretation of the Bible. His emphasis on the power of growing through Christ with a focus on Faith in God's love, wisdom, plan and power to transform us to be like him by growing closer to him in love.

Error prone foundation

...leads the author to faulty conclusions.

For starters, the title of the book and the author's early claim to have a "path/way"...

"The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps"
Proverbs 16:9

...and the author would be wise to return to God's way.
