McManus does a decent job in his Barbarian Way.

He conveys over and over that Jesus was a rebel, not a conformer, and urges the church to start living a revolution of spirit. Not to simply live the complacent church life like so many of us do.

I may write a more in depth review over at my blog.

My blog about this.

(ok, actually about the movie, not the book, but allconsuming couldn’t find the movie.)

McLaren’s Orthodoxy is considerably deep. As is all he offers. At times, as a general reader I felt lost in the ideas he was exploring.

I have not finished the book (I have a chapter or two left) because it makes me think too much when I read it, and since my attention span seems to be so limited, my mind tries to wander down every available tangent it comes up with. I end up reading whole paragraphs without processing the data.

A very deep, very thought provoking read.

If you have liked some of McLaren’s other books, I would pick it up.

This latest offering from the crew is hot. This is the actual and spritual successor to The End is Now, which in my opinion was the best LAS to date.
