"Very interesting. That was my first review because I was too tired that day to articulate what I was thinking upon finishing the book. It's still hard to articulate. Reading this book stretched the way I think of scripture & Jesus. I don't know that I agree with all of it, but I do think its a valuable, important book to read and think about. The ideas are not so radical to me as they are to a lot of reviewer's I've seen, and I agree with him more than I disagree with him.
He has presented an extremely well-researched and clear overview of the gravest issues in the world today, and what followers of Christ should be doing about them. It's not a light read. The book is framed by MCLaren's two most important questions: What are the biggest problems in the world today? and What do the life and teachings of Jesus have to say about these global problems? And, frankly, those are questions that every Christian should be thinking about. This book shows how Christians have accepted a "gospel about Jesus", but we have failed to accept the "better news", the "gospel of Jesus", which is the message of the Kingdom of God here on earth. This is a concept we've been hearing about and discussing alot at church the last year or so. It was interesting to read McLaren's vision and call to action.
I think the best thing about the book is that it makes you think & if you do think, it stretches you. "What are the biggest problems in the world today? and What do the life and teachings of Jesus have to say about these global problems?" I hope to continue to ruminate on these questions and more importantly, to act on what I see as the implications of these questions."
"I just finished reading "Everything Must Change" by Brian McLaren. I've enjoyed all of Brian's books as he is a contemplative thinker and not swayed by what is popular, but by what he believes. Cathy and I sat with him once at a publisher's dinner and we both we're affected at how peaceful he was and how gentle his ideas flowed across the table.
McLaren's book is a methodical look at what must change and how it could change starting with people of faith if we all make a choice:
A choice to stop believing that the equity system is about a few getting more and start believing that all should have enough.
A choice to stop believing that prosperity can happen without sustainability and start believing that what we do to our environment and each other matters for our future and to God.
A choice to stop believing that funding security will keep us safe and start believing that making the world a better place to live, for everyone and everything, will eliminate the need for war.
This philosophy though, is not a simple choice between capitalism and socialism, democrat and republican, developed and underdeveloped, rich and poor, good and bad. The yin and yang of the world is broken down in many shades of many colors. Black and white won't do anymore. I thought the book was very good, but more important, it's to the point and relevant. No, I don't agree with everything the author believes, though I do agree with most and I most certainly agree with this book and the solutions presented within."
"This is an "everyone must read," type of book. I found it very inspirational, especially once I reached the end. It is a well written description of the application of the Gospel message to global challenges; prosperity, security, inequity, etc. I definitely feel hopeful."
"I so appreciate McLaren's voice of sensibility and reason. It seems like so many people these days have a kooky idea of what Christianity should look like in the world without thinking it through all the way. I enjoy the fact that McLaren writes with compassion and hope rather than anger the way so many others are these days."
