Synopsis

After many years as a successful pastor, Brian McLaren has found, as more and more Christians are finding, that none of the current strains of Christianity fully describes his own faith. In The Story We Find Ourselves In — the much anticipated sequel to his award-winning book A New Kind of Christian— McLaren captures a new spirit of a relevant Christianity, where traditional divisions and doctrinal differences give way to a focus on God and the story of God's love for this world. If you are searching for a deeper life with God— one that moves beyond the rhetoric of denominational and theological categories— this delightful and inspiring fictional tale will provide a picture of what it could mean to recapture a joyful spiritual life.

Whether you agree with everything or not (I didn't) you will be challenged and......more

Goodreads review by Jan

Poses some great questions. Interesting way of doing that through a story of how a group of people interact. For me the story doesn’t really work & is a bit forced. Good questions section at end of book. Could work well for a group read.......more
