The next book we’re going to tackle at Project:Fracture is the new book by Rob Bell and Don Golden, Jesus Wants to Save Christians: A Manifesto for the Church in Exile.

Yes, it’s quite a mouthful.

It sounds a little scary.

So, what is it about?

“There is a church not too far from us that recently added a $25 million addition to their building.

Our local newspaper ran a front-page story not too long ago about a study revealing that one in five people in our city lives in poverty.

This is a book about those two numbers.

It’s a book about faith and fear, wealth and war, poverty, power, safety, terror, Bibles, bombs, and homeland insecurity.

It’s about empty empires and the truth that everybody’s a priest; it’s about oppression, occupation, and what happens when Christians support, animate and participate in the very things Jesus came to set people free from.

It’s about what it means to be a part of the church of Jesus in a world where some people fly planes into buildings while others pick up groceries in Hummers.” (From Zondervan’s blog)

When do we start?

We’ll start our discussion of the book on Thursday, November 13. I recommend that you read the first chapter before then, but if you don’t have time (or are sadly both illiterate and deaf), I’m sure you’ll catch on to the discussion quickly.

Purchase your copy of the book ($13.49) or audio download ($10.49) now!
