using Unconventional Examples From His Own Life, Shane Claiborne Stirs Up Questions About The Church And The World, And Challenges Readers To Truly Live Out Their Christian Faith.
publishers Weeklyif There Is Such A Thing As A Disarming Radical, 30-year-old Claiborne Is It. A Former Tennessee Methodist And Born-again, High School Prom King, Claiborne Is Now A Founding Member Of One Of A Growing Number Of Radical Faith Communities. His Is Called The Simple Way, Located In A Destitute Neighborhood Of Philadelphia. It Is A House Of Young Believers, Some Single, Some Married, Who Live Among The Poor And Homeless. They Call Themselves Ordinary Radicals Because They Attempt To Live Like Christ And The Earliest Converts To Christianity, Ignoring Social Status And Unencumbered By Material Comforts. Claiborne's Chatty And Compelling Narrative Is Magnetic-his Stories (from Galvanizing A Student Movement That Saved A Group Of Homeless Families From Eviction To Reaching Mother Teresa Herself From A Dorm Phone At 2 A.m.) Draw The Reader In With Humor And Intimacy, Only To Turn The Most Common Ways Of Practicing Religion Upside Down. He Somehow Skewers The Insulation Of Suburban Living And The Hypocrisy Of Wealthy Churches Without Any Self-righteous Finger Pointing. The World, He Says, Cannot Afford The American Dream. Claiborne's Conviction, Personal Experience And Description Of Others Like Him Are A Clarion Call To Rethink The Meaning Of Church, Conversion And Christianity; No Reader Will Go Away Unshaken.
