Contents:
Resurrecting church -- In search of a Christian -- When comfort becomes uncomfortable -- Another way of doing life -- Economics of rebirth -- Pledging allegiance when kingdoms collide -- Jesus made me do it! -- Jesus is for losers -- Extremists for love -- Making revolution irresistible -- Growing smaller and smaller-- until we take over the world -- Crazy but not alone -- Appendix 1 : local revolutions and ordinary radicals -- Appendix 2 : marks of a new monasticism -- Appendix 3 : to Iraq.
Subject: 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.--Publisher description.
