It is Finished

Guys
Alan has asked me to post the end of book questions/thoughts as he is a bit swamped. BTW...congrats Al on your team going 2-0! That is awesome!

Basically, there are some comments and questions below, but basically now that it is finished, how is everyone feeling? Personally, I'm challenged by the book but not sure exactly what to do next. I found it encouraging on page 300 where McLaren states, "Its interesting-astonishing, really- that Jesus doesn't simply say, "nothing will be impossilbe for me, " or "nrohting will be impossible with God." Instead he says ,"nothing will be impossible for you." This is our call to action, our inviation to move mountains an dso reshape the social and spiritual landscape of our world."

Did this book leave you feeling encouraged? Discouraged? Somewhere in between?

Did you care for his comparison of abortion to global warming? Is this true...effective...appropriate?

What personal action are you called to make?

What community action could you commit yourself to? Public action?

And what global action could come out of this?

Honestly, is this book changing the way you shop, or see church, or think about your business? Or is it too far out there and therefore leaving you currently searching for what to do? Or somewhere in between?

Where do you go from here?

I'd love to hear from you. I love the idea that we could change the world. I'll admit it all can feel daunting. But all we can do if follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit and step out in faith...right? Question is...where is my first step? Where is yours?
