First, I didn't read this book trying not to be offended or defending my life by feeling judged by what Shane wrote...I also did not look for a political agenda, or to pick apart his thinking. A lot of other reviews did.I read this book to enjoy and learn, hopefully both.
I love the way Shane lives his life according to what he feels Christianity and Jesus is perceived from his viewpoint. I certainly did not agree with everything...and even so, I would have still enjoyed the stories.
Its not a biography (so to speak) but tells a lot of his life, thoughts, and ideas...his struggles with 'church' in general. Working with Mother Teresa, Families in Iraq that are just as terrorized from war and terrorism as we are...my review is not to recount the whole book to you but tell you that I think this book is good and worth buying.
I guess if you are not one for religion, or Christianity...then maybe you will not enjoy it...but then again maybe it will speak to those of you who are trying to find Christians that aren't the ones that are only Christian in name, social culture, or that's what you are because your parents were.
Here are a few additional motivations for buying the book besides the great read:
1. It costs about what? 10 or 12 dollars on Amazon.com
2. The sales do not go to him, they are distributed to several other organizations/charities that do great things to help people.
