No current Talk conversations about this book.

Usually enjoy anything from the Jesus Seminar or the Westar Institute. This book attempts to talk to a number of different audiences. One is the walking wounded bitter disillusioned ex church members who found their church spared love but not condemnation. Another is the reliable but ambient hungry member who attends but drives on a empty tank. A third is those who have never really studied Christianity or Judaism to know if they reject them. He talks about others but the purpose of the book is to engage you to be honest to Jesus so find out what that means.

You will be surprise what you don't have to accept!

My position is that I am a seeker on a journey but I am born within Judaic-Christian culture so their spiritual treasures will resonant with me in different ways then the treasures of other expressions of spirituality. ( )
