Interrupted: When Jesus Wrecks Your Comfortable Christianity by Jen Hatmaker
hopeful
informative
inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
2.0
Uses only masculine language for God and pastors (therefore, only feminine language for pastors’ spouses).
Uses scripture-based slavery language: “The literal implication of slave means we behave “as a real slave”—labor as one, defer to those we serve, are diligent to please and not offend, and act as if we have no privileges at all—“
Continually uses “lame” as an insult.
Hatmaker and her theology has grown more progressive and expansive since this was published in 2001. This is a historical snapshot of her theology as a evangelical pastor’s wife as they discern how God is calling them to plant a church in Austin, TX.
