20 Hot Potatoes Christians Are Afraid to Touch by Tony Campolo

Nothing like a catchy title to get people to buy your book. Some of these 20 topics certainly aren't hot potatoes in 2022 although in 1988 they would have been controversial. Others remain controversial and Campolo's voice is still a valuable contribution. He's not always right (from my perspective and from 2022) but his opinion is worth listening to.

Red Letter Revolution: What If Jesus Really Meant… by Shane Claiborne

These are two men I respect addressing what it means to follow Jesus (the red letters) related to a range of issues. Not particularly focused but there are some things well said here. I have a fuller review of this book at my blog: http://thoughtsprayersandsongs.com/2013/01/23/talking-bout-the-revolution-a-book...
