Which God is on the Move?



My friend Troy bought this book: On the Move - by Bono and then left it for me to read this weekend.

I love the political direction. But he rather off handedly includes Christians, Jews and Muslims together as he speaks at the National Prayer breakfast. Bono is definitely a Christian, and probably a true believer, but I wish he wouldn't casually leave the subject matter of "common worship" open as if Muslims and Christians could pray to the same God.

The God Christians worship is Yhwh seen in and through Jesus, resurrected King of Israel and the world. If you worship a different God, he isn't the same one...

Wright, N. T. - The Millenium Myth


Wright, N. T. - The Millenium Myth

A great book about the confrontation between and the overlap of Christianity and Postmodernism.

Wright says Xty is the only answer to the challenge of Postmodernism, because Christianity is not a powerplay if displayed correctly. Christianity also identifies with the deconstruction of false powers. This is what Jesus did to Caesar in the cross.

A good short read.

Claiborne, Shane - The Irresistible Revolution - the simple way







**Claiborne, Shane - The Irresistible Revolution is a very important book to me. It really changed my life. I have since come to disagree with several of my initial reactions - Pacifism, and an itch about Universalism (never sat right with my Bible knowledge).

BUT, the book is a MUST READ.
