The Irresistable Revolution - Chapter 1

Although the beginning of this book is set in an American culture, I could definitely relate to several aspects of it. I would not say Christianity is really safe in France, but it is easy to stay safe and live an un-risky faith. Fortunately, what Shane Claiborne defines as spiritual bulimia is less likely to happen to the extent he describes it, simply because Christianity is not nearly as wealthy or popular in France.
I’ve had many of the same questions the author was asking, as far as the consistency of my church’s works and Jesus’ teachings and works.
I really think my church should be more involved in social justice, getting out of the comfort bubble.
