Irresistible Revolution

by Shane Claiborne

Zondervan | January 26, 2006 | Trade Paperback

Living as an Ordinary RadicalMany of us find ourselves caught somewhere between unbelieving activists and inactive believers. We can write a check to feed starving children or hold signs in the streets and feel like weÆve made a difference without ever encountering the faces of the suffering masses. In this book, Shane Claiborne describes an authentic faith rooted in belief, action, and love, inviting us into a movement of the Spirit that begins inside each of us and extends into a broken world. ShaneÆs faith led him to dress the wounds of lepers with Mother Teresa, visit families in Iraq amidst bombings, and dump $10,000 in coins and bills on Wall Street to redistribute wealth. Shane lives out this revolution each day in his local neighborhood, an impoverished community in North Philadelphia, by living among the homeless, helping local kids with homework, and ôpracticing resurrectionö in the forgotten places of our world.ShaneÆs message will comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable . . . but will also invite us into an irresistible revolution. His is a vision for ordinary radicals ready to change the world with little acts of love.

How-to guide on Christian living

Shane Clairborne lives his life the way many pure Christians ought to, radically different than you're typical church-going worshipper. In his book, Clairborne outlines true sacrifice and what Christianity should be about.

Unfortunately, religion always comes down to politics and power. And while Clairborne is a refreshing view of a true Christian life, ultimately it doesn't reflect reality.

The book reads like a memoir, based solely on Clairborne's Christian adventures throughout his life including a trip to Iraq. Clairborne isn't preachy at all and lets you make your own judgements.

Overall, I recommend this book if you've got a couple of hours to spare and are looking for a different perspective on life.
