"McLaren begins this book in his usual way - Christianity is broke and needs fixing. He paraphrases a quote by Dr. Peter Senge, that Christianity has become a system of belief in a world that is searching for a way of life. Brian also expresses one of his familiar dismays with the modern church - the emphasis on life after death at the expense of life on earth." Finding Our Way Again by Brian McLaren by Tom McCool in Oubache Cohort

These are themes that are familiar to me from Marcus Borg, nice to find them here. More ideas for reading here and in the blog sidebar.

At the end of each chapter, Brian offers the reader some spiritual exercises that can be used individually or in a group. For instance, after the chapter titled Practicing The Way Of Jesus, Brian asks the reader, "To what degree would you describe yourself as a 'Jesus-y' person? What is the story behind your answer?"

Interesting, maybe I will end up doing some of these exercises at church one day.
