your<\/em> feedback to make sure I get the title you\u2019ll most connect with.<\/p>\nThe original concept was titled \u201cWithout A Tribe\u201d and was going to specifically focus on life as a \u201cChristian outsider\u201d. However, the more I got into the \u201cChristian outsider\u201d stuff the more I realized following that trail from start to finish had the potential to be downer. The ultimate direction I decided to take the book in was to have a few chapters on being a Christian outsider, but to let the bulk of the book become the answer to, \u201cbut what do we do now?\u201d This allowed me to take the book in a more positive, useful, and constructive direction\u2013 instead of \u201clook at us, we\u2019re outsiders\u201d it\u2019s more of \u201cyes, we\u2019re outsiders, but here\u2019s how we can use our experiences to reform American Christianity into a more beautiful expression\u201d.<\/p>\n
With this new fine-tuning of direction, I\u2019m not totally sure on the title, so I want your feedback!<\/p>\n
The sub-title, regardless of what head title we pick, seems to be settled on \u201cReclaiming A Better Christianity\u201d (unless you have an amazing idea I connect with).\u00a0 The remaining question is what head title to go along with that?<\/p>\n
Here are a few of my ideas\u2013 I\u2019d love to hear what you think:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without A Tribe: Reclaiming A Better Christianity<\/strong><\/p>\nBeyond The Tribe: Reclaiming A Better Christianity<\/strong><\/p>\nKingdom Conspirators: Creating A Better Christianity<\/strong><\/p>\nKingdom Revolutionaries: Creating A Better Christianity<\/strong><\/p>\nWhich title do you connect best with? Which one would you be most likely to buy? Is there really cool idea\/title\/subtitle that I didn\u2019t think of?<\/p>\n
My personal thoughts: I personally like \u201cWithout a Tribe\u201d and \u201cKingdom Conspirators\u201d, but I\u2019m open to being convinced on either of the other two choices or a completely new option that you think up.<\/p>\n
Chime off in the comments section! I\u2019ll be watching, and will really value your ideas and input. And, if you come up with an original idea that I use in the book, I\u2019ll give you a shout-out in the acknowledgement section.<\/p>\n
Get your thinking caps on\u2026 and go!<\/p>\n
Thanks,<\/p>\n
