the barbarian way...

I started Erwin McManus's new book, The Barbarian Way, this morning. One passage-

"Jesus is being lost in the religion bearing His name. People are being lost because they cannot reconcile Jesus' association wih Christianity. Christianity has become docile, domesticated, civilized. We have forgotten that there is a kingdom of darkness stealing the hopes and dreams and souls of a humanity without God..."

I finished read TBW a few weeks ago, and thought McManus had some great observations and points. I also wound up quoting him a few times as I went through it. Nice blog brother.
