Everything Must Change de Brian McLaren
After several other McLaren titles, I thought I'd enjoy this one. Maybe it's about timing, but the writing didn't engage me. His topic holds great potential, but the tone of the writer (see what I know/how I'm thinking) proved distracting to me.
This thought provoking look at the emergent church made for lively discussion in book group. The content suffers a bit with the author's attempt to embrace edgy, eclectic forms of writing, but it's still good stuff.
Much of what McLaren describes and names so well in the first half of the book hit that spot in me that recognizes truth. Ah-ha, I'm not the only one to think/feel/experience such and such. I found the views so compelling, I bought a copy of my own (because I'd started with a library book). Who doesn't appreciate knowing they are not alone?
And then the focus of the writing shifts to how-to. My momentum slacked, and I felt like I was in the weeds. This is most likely a reflection on my need/interest rather than on the topic or the writing.
I'm going to trust that timing matters and that when I'm ready, I'll find McLaren waiting to walk me through what comes next in living a life that is in tune with what I believe.… (més)

For me, coming from a fundamental background, McLaren provided me with much 'food for thought'. I also lead a discussion of the book for the Progressive group. Part 1 covered the history of the Christian religion in its many iterations; Part 2 focused on why a person should remain within the Christian umbrella; Part 3 asked how we should remain within the confines of Christianity. For me, the jury is still out; I am on the edge but I have difficulty envisioning no religious focus.
