Publisher's summary

From critically acclaimed author Brian McLaren comes a brilliant retelling of the biblical story and a thrilling reintroduction to Christian faith.

This audiobook offers everything you need to explore what a difference an honest, living, growing faith can make in our world today. It also puts tools in your hands to create a life-changing learning community in any home, restaurant, or other welcoming space.

The 52 (plus a few) weekly readings can each be read aloud in 10-12 minutes, and offer a simple curriculum of insightful reflections and transformative practices. Organized around the traditional church year, these readings give an overview of the whole Bible and guide an individual or a group of friends through a year of rich study, interactive learning, and personal growth.

Perfect for home churches, congregations, classes, or individual study, each reading invites you to:

  • Cultivate an honest, intelligent understanding of the Bible and of Christian faith in the 21st century
  • Engage with discussion questions designed to challenge, stimulate, and encourage
  • Re-imagine what it means to live joyfully and responsibly in today's world as agents of God's justice, creativity, and peace

If you're seeking a fresh way to experience and practice your faith, if you're a long-term Christian seeking new vitality, or if you feel out of place in traditional church circles, this audiobook will inspire and activate you in your spiritual journey.

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.
