The following is part of the Patheos Book club for Letters to a Future Church.
There’s a new book that I’m excited to tell you about called “Letters to a Future Church: Words of Encouragement and Prophetic Appeals.” This book is edited by Chris Lewis but has contributions from many of my favorite Christian voices: Walter Brueggeman, David Fitch, Ron Sider, Shane Claiborne, Rachel held Evans, Kathy Escobar, Jonathan Wilson-Hargrove, Peter Rollins, and many more.
The various letters are organized into categories based on the message or theme. Some wrote about mission, while others truth, yet others art, and finally some folks wrote about hope. Perhaps one of my favorite letters, which will be of little surprise to many of you, was written by Shane Claiborne. I think just giving you the title will create intrigue: “a dozen (or so) flags and seven piles of poop.”
I wholeheartedly affirm and recommend this book!
I have an extra copy I would like to give away. [Read more...]
