Nudge: Awakening Each Other to the God Who's Already There by Leonard Sweet
4.0
A wonderful meander through the Sweet school of discipleship. Reading this books makes you wish you could hang with Leonard and pick up the scraps of wisdom he continually throws off. And he has such a pleasant, optimistic manner you gotta think he's a riot to have beers with.
The content is similar to a number of other Sweet books. He argues convincingly that Christianity and Christians should be more real and more pleasant. The You-Catch-More-Flies-With-Honey school of discipleship. He is (mildly) critical of the "spread fear, sell hope" style of Christianity..
It's much deeper than being friendly. He builds on the case he set out in "The Gospel According to Starbucks" that Christian experience needs to be EPIC: Experiential, Participatory. Image Rich, Connective.
In many way, this kind of dirt-under-the-fingernail-from-gardeing living is sorely missing in our lives. Sensuous, Aesthetic, Rich, the whole thing makes you want to put your hands on the tender green leaves sprouting from the coffee brown loam of people's lives. Kind of like abundant living - green growing everywhere. He has a way of making the spiritual palpably real - which, it seem, is our commission.
Leonard Sweet walks the tightrope of life loves it - and he make you want to get on the rope with him.
Read this book along with a couple of his others - you won't regret it.
