Jesus for President

Politics for Ordinary Radicals

De: Shane Claiborne, Chris Haw

Narrado por: full cast

As a follow-up to his best seller The Irresistible Revolution, Claiborne issues a radical manifesto on Christian political imagination—that our hope lies not in partisan options but in Jesus and the incarnation of the church as "set apart" from this world. A thoughtful and lyrical examination of the relationship between faith and allegiance for modern-day saints.

Great Perspective

It is a great perspective of the gospel that seems obvious, but rarely taught in our current culture. I am grateful for the current day prophetic message.

You don’t have to agree with everything.

I certainly don’t.
However, there’s enough challenging content here to cause every Christian to sit up straight, rewind, carefully listen again, and examine your own history, allegiances, practices, beliefs, and stereotypes.
A must read for the “comfortable” Christian who believes he/she has all that is needed and yet feels a void in their spiritual journey.

Great but beware

This book is amazing as it re-contextualizes the Bible with an eye toward social justice and reform. The "musical" interludes however, are highly irritating and detract greatly from the power of this book. I don't know why thought they were a good idea - but they are unbearable.

Jesus for President

Although I got the satire in the jingles, they were way too long and became annoying. The ending was a bit laborious.
However, beyond the jingles and wordiness, there is some meat on this bone.

If you considers yourself a Christian - Read this

I loved listening to this audiobook and am now considering buying it in print because of the impression it left on me. If you consider yourself a follower of Christ- I highly recommend this book.

Another beautiful work by Shane

insightful and enlightening. a critical treatment of politics in the context of a Christian kingdom life.

Hummmm Wow Speechless and praying for courage and motivation

Most of us self proclaimed Christian’s live on the comfortable side of our faith (like I do). My prayer is that this book will help me sort out the lifestyle conflicts I have with my faith.

Challenging

This is not for the faint of heart. The words of this book are challenging. Whether or not you agree with the theology it will produce much food for thought, prayer and soul searching in your relationship with God.

Wow

Got a real glimpse of what this world could be if the people who call themselves followers of Christ actually started following him rather than the states agenda.

A fresh vision

Shane is definitely a Christian radical. I think a lot of Christians (including myself) voted for Trump because we were sick of stock politicians. Unfortunately what we got was an egomaniac who manipulated evangelicals. We need a radical Christian perspective. It’s time to divorce ourselves from the Empire. Choose this day whom you will serve. If Christ, expect to pay the price. My only complaint about the book is the music. Sorry Shane.
