Amazing Little Book.,
By
This review is from: The Barbarian Way: Unleash the Untamed Faith Within (Hardcover)
I have to reccommend to you a great little book I just read. It is called "The Barbarian Way" by Erwin McManus. I reieved it for my birthday last week and can not give it a high enough reccomendation. It focus is on the fact that the christian faith should not be the simple quiet protected life. Thatb the call to be a christian is a call to risk, to live on the edge, with danger, trials and troubles. That the churh has become domesticated and it lack's appeal because of that.It is out by Thomas Nelson ISBN 0785264329 Not only do I reccomend it, but they guarantee it, if you buy it and are not satisfied they will replace your money. Some quick quotes. "The claim to believe is simply not enough. The call of Jesus is one to action" p.5 "Perhaps the tragedy of our time is that such an overwhelming number of us who declare Jesus as Lord have become domesticated - or, if you will, civilized. We have lost the simplicity of our early faith. Beyond that, we have lost the passion and power of that raw, untaimed, and primal faith." p.12 "The barbarian way is abour love, intimacy, passion, and sacrifice. Barbarians love to live and live to love." p. 13 "The call of Jesus is far more barbaric that either of those. It is a call to live in this world as citizens of an entirely different kingdom." p.32 "your life is unique before God, and your path is yours and yours alone." p. 37 "Just do whatever Jesus calls you to do the moment it is clear to you. Do not procrastinate; do not hesitate; do not deviate from whatever course of action He calls you to." p.53 "When you join the barbarian tribe, you begin to live your life with your eyes and heart wide open. When the spirit of God envelops your soul, your spiri comes alive, and everything changes for you. You are no lobger the same." p.69 .... For those who liked John Eldreges "Wild at Heart" or "Waking the Dead" you will love this book. Take a risk and pick it up, you will either be challanged or angry. If your angry you can get your money back. If your challanged, who know's where it will lead you!

I wanted another copy of this book to lend out to friends, because it made such an impact on my life. I went to a bookstore to get it and it was $20. I paid $4 for it here on Amazon.

Positively provoking,
This review is from: The Barbarian Way: Unleash the Untamed Faith Within (Hardcover)
This book has content that could potentially change traditional mindsets. I think there is merit in what the author is saying. I hope the challenges that I have just read about will make their way into how I live and that I will be willing to do what God intended, to love and live with others in mind and not to be afraid to do what it takes for that to happen.
