The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical
by Shane Claiborne
I appreciated the book and I liked Shane Claiborne's perspective and commitment to the Gospel and calling out both conservatives and liberals. He focused on community, love, redistribution and other Gospel issues. The book started out strong big the further I got into it, it became a little repetative. So many footnotes and links to websites made it seem like a secondary purpose of the book was to plug similar organizations to his Simple Way. The examples he gave also all had a similar feel (our friends from an hippie organization did this counterintuitive protest to highlight XYZ injustice or our friend who is poor/oppressed/overlooked is also an amazing XYZ and isn't that neat because most people wouldnt even notice them) The book had some moments that made me think and I admire the heck out of Claiborne cause he's one of those people who genuinely try to love and live out their faith but this book just didnt capture me. I had to force myself to finish it, it just started to drag and the repetition made it last forever.
