This title in other formats:Jesus Wants to Save Christians: A Manifesto for the Church in Exileby Rob Bell
Synopses & ReviewsReview:"The author of Velvet Elvis and Sex God teams up with fellow pastor Golden to write a manifesto that packs as much sociopolitical zing as rhetorical punch. If Americans today miss the central message of the Bible, say the authors, the reason is that the United States is an empire like those described in Scripture that build powerful armies and seek to protect what they accumulate rather than promote justice and mercy. Chapter titles such as 'Swollen-bellied black babies, soccer moms on Prozac, and the mark of the beast' will provoke many readers. Likely to get a bigger rise is the suggestion that when the Bible says enemies will one day worship together, that includes today's enemies, the Taliban and al-Qaeda. The writing is frequently paragraphed into very short chunks of prose. This dramatic book is politically charged but not party-bent, bearing a message evangelicals need: that Jesus didn't come just to save people for heaven someday but to transform his followers and the physical world now." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:A church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, recently added a $25-million addition to its building; meanwhile one in five people in Grand Rapids lives in poverty. This book about those two numbers tells what happens when Christians support and participate in the very things Jesus advocated.
