Jesus For President

Just finished reading Jesus For President. Quite a challenging book by Shane Claiborne- with the potential to be quite motivating. I say "potential" because nothing, outside of God Himself and our will to do can truly be motivating. Nonetheless, the book is, at worst, thought provoking and is well worth the read. He begins by going through the Bible from the beginning and showing how God intended for our world to operate. He includes many intreaguing facts from the past and much history. Further into the book, he exposes controversial issues regarding our American way of life as well as our government/ politics. Then, toward the end, he explores real life ways we can impact our nation and make our mark as true followers of Jesus. Though not for the "faint of heart," this book is full of radical old ideas we would do well to embrace.
