The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical by Shane Claiborne

3.0

---

This book was uneven. At some points, it was so poignant that I put it down more thoughtful and inspired. At others, I felt it immature in its approach; those sections often had to do with feminism, or with engaging with the rest of the world, where Claiborne was very well-intentioned, but perhaps had not spent enough time listening to the voices of the populations about which he was talking. My hope is that he, like all of us, is evolving, and has, by now, come to grow on those points where the book feels "meh." That said, those inspirational passages were really good, and will stick with me for a long time.
