The Simple Way

I recently finished reading The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne. It was an incredible witness to his vocation to the Philadelphia community The Simple Way and the road that got him there, and I would highly recommend it. However, I would warn you that if the book doesn't make you want to live differently, you haven't paid attention to what Claiborne is saying. The off-color nature of his story, the personable tone of the writing, and the snazzy packaging in which you find the book itself make it an easy candidate for "youthy" appeal and popularity, but Claiborne is not trying to be cool or youthy and to mistake him for such is to misunderstand his telling of the gospel. Read the book, but be willing to be changed.
