This Guy Is Kinda My Hero Right Now
Pastor Tim Brown, the "Reluctant Xtian," has written a sequel to his excellent blog post linked below. Here, then, are "5 Phrases I Think Christians Should Say More Often."
Pastor Tim, I accept your challenge. Any Christian friends care to suggest a book for me to read?
One proviso: if I don't agree with your book, even if it's a book you really, really love, I get to say so and explain why without any hurt feelings on either side. And if you're asking me to suggest a book to you, how 'bout my own? (Only 99 cents! What a deal!) Or, failing that, I most heartily recommend Why Christianity Must Change or Die by Bishop John Shelby Spong, God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens (a snide but persuasive work Pastor Tim also admires), The Evolution of God by Robert Wright, or The Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins.
What say you, friends?

I personally like I AM A FOLLOWER–though I can’t say it’s great. It urges us to act with the spirit on our own terms, not just do what our leaders say, without question/thought. I can bring my copy in July, if you like.
And I’ve added Pastor Tim to my blog roll. What a good voice to be out there speaking!

I Am a Follower isn’t carried by my local library network, so I’m afraid it’s no dice. I didn’t say I’d pay for it! I need something at what my friend Aaron calls “the communist bookstore.”
