Synopsis

The kingdom of God is a beautiful revolution. Marked by the radical life, love, servanthood, and humility of Jesus, it stands in stark contrast to the values and ways of the world.Regrettably, many who profess to follow Christ have bought into the world’s methods, seeking to impose a sort of Christianized ethical kingdom through politics and control. In this illuminating sequel to his bestselling book The Myth of a Christian Nation, Dr. Gregory Boyd points us to a better way—a way of seeing and living that is consistent with the gospel of Jesus and his kingdom. Between the extremes of passivity on the one hand and political holy war on the other lies the radical, revolutionary path of imitating Jesus.In twelve areas ranging from racial and social issues to stewardship of the planet, this book will convince and inspire you to live a Christlike life of revolt and beauty—and it will help you attain a practical lifestyle of kingdom impact.

This book was a phenomenal read and woke me up to a number of things I was doing, as a Christian, out of unhealthy habits.

Goodreads review by Kim

This is a great book for Christians and non-Christians alike. For non-Christians it shows that the Christianity that they are most familiar with may not accurately reflect the teachings of Jesus. For Christians, it makes us confront the way many of us distort Jesus' teachings to suit our own desires......more

Goodreads review by Karen

Absolutely devastating and convicting, but also 100% revolutionary and inspiring. Greg Boyd reminds us of everything we know to be true about the Bible and Jesus but inspires us to take all of that to a new and radical level.......more

"On Civil Government," by David Lipscomb Well, he's not wrong...and it got you reading, didn't it? Revolution not religion: Jesus didn't come to start......more
