Chrissy-Irresistable Revolution

The Irresistible Revolution is a book written by Shane Claiborne. If you have not read it, I highly recommend it. This book is taking what everyday Christians consider myth, and making it reality. The truth of the gospel is being lived out, not perfectly mind you, but sincerely. Shane Claiborne has started a movement towards simple living and sharing in community to serve one another in love. This simple movement has taken the words in scripture and made them alive. He and others have taken something from the extreme abstraction and made it into concrete reality. It is sad that today the Christian faith does not provide a way to LIFE. It provides a way to conquer death, but what about life… what about now? It’s fun to be reminded that this life has meaning too, that we don’t have to sulk and wait for the coming kingdom, the time is now, the kingdom is here. We are the body of Christ.
