Flirting With Faith – Video Book Review

I haven't read this one but may check it out.

Faith is such a curious thing. We all have it, even if some don't think they do. It's when we start talking in terms of “religious” faith that people get all squirmy. I think we complicate faith, even the religious kind. For me, I can't explain God like I can't explain love or the wind but I have experienced all three and know they exist. I think, in terms of the Christian faith, if believers just focused on practicing what Jesus said… faith might be more compelling, more often. :)

“Which is the greatest commandment? Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'”

That “love your neighbor” part especially.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this book. I hadn't heard of this one but may need to add it to my reading list. As you point out, Anne Lamott and Don Miller are the de facto leaders of this genre, but one of the best non-religious/non-churchianity books I've read on the subject of faith was “Messy Spirituality,” by the late Mike Yaconelli. Mike was the founder of a youth ministry organization called Youth Specialties and died a few years ago in a car crash.

Another great eye-opener on spirituality for me was the book “The Ragamuffin Gospel,” by Brennan Manning, a former Catholic priest. It's more theological in tone and probably not as accessible to those who aren't as familiar with the Catholic tradition (or for that matter most orthodox Christian belief systems), and it's slow at times, but its portrayal of God as a grace-filled, ever-forgiving lover of humanity can't be beat.

Mornin Chris,
Love that you stretched your mind to pick up the book. Dogma or no dogma, we're all questioning the secret of the universe or our own truth of existence. Books like this make us think. I think contemplation is good because we're forced into a deeper consciousness, even for a little bit. Through such books I think we're offered an opportunity to think about what the heck we're doing here and how we can be effective and fun human beings on the planet.

Chris- Thanks for sharing a book review on Faith…. God is good indeed! Everything you have accomplished (believe it or not) is a result of Your God, and he Love's us all regardless of what “some” religious institutions want us to believe… Best, Brian-

Chris, I like your straightforward style in doing this book review and appreciate the heads-up on an interesting book. Some people would have hesitated to review any book on faith or religion and I appreciate that you did not shy from the challenge, once compelled by the book.

I have followed you for over 2 years, and as a person of faith, I find it interesting that you share with us a book on how someone found faith.

I have not read this one…however, based on your recommendation will now put it on my summer read list.

Two items, I just discovered that Darren Rowse, Problogger.net, is a person of faith. He shared with us recently his preparation with teaching at his church. And have you discussed with Darren, your foray into finding faith with him?

Thanks for the share…

Mark

This is exactly why I love it so much. Because I don't have a religion, but just want to learn, believe and have faith..I feel like it's the perfect read for me but I'm open to reading more about the subject. It's been a long journey for me to find faith (longer than I thought it would be) but I know that some day, it will hit me and I will understand, I will believe.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.<a

Very cool – thank you for sharing this book. It is very refreshing to hear you recommend a book on faith. For me personally faith in Christ has pulled me from the very bottom to the place I’m at now where life is amazing. It seems these days that “Jesus” is often a swear word more than the name of a Creator whose story reveals the ultimate compassion – dying for those He loved. Can’t wait to hear about Joan’s journey and thank you Chris for sharing your “interesting read” with us. I find it easy to receive someone who simply shares what they like without worrying about stepping in the mine field that religion and faith can often bring about. Awesome.

Thank you for your article.
my friend reccommend this website to me. you can go and see it. it's good.
