I purchased this book on Sunday after a few friends recommended I read it and it's been enhancing thoughts that I have already been developing about Christianity. I find that this author Shane Claiborne is challenging me through his personal relationship with Christ to be a Jesus follower and not a church goer.
Reading this book has been helping me to be more aware of desires God has put in my heart and has been motivating me to make plans and work towards what God wants me to do. Jesus had dirty feet and we are so far from having even our hands dirty.
He accounts some radical and untraditional things he has been doing since he went off to college and the dude even had the opportunity to work along Mother T!
There is alot that of dares in this book to do more for Christ with what we have and one thing that he shares that I have heard before but sat different with me today in Chapter 3 is "We are not called to be successful but to be faithful"
So you mean at work I should just be faithful? Faithful to the duties and the clients I encounter? Not worry about being successful? That means I dont have to keep up with the Jones's and It doesnt matter if I have a degree and It doesn't matter what I wear or where I live. It matters how FAITHFUL I am.
I have to confess IM not there yet. I need to be born again AGAIN!
