Here are three books I have recently finished reading that I highly recommend:
What If Jesus Was Serious? A Visual Guide to the Teachings of Jesus We Love to Ignore by Skye Jethani
Postcards from Babylon: The Church In American Exile by Brian Zahnd
After Evangelicalism: The Path to a New Christianity by David Gushee
In What If Jesus Was Serious Skye Jethani guides us through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount using insightful observations and witty doodles that help illustrate the practical application of the Kingdom of God in daily modern life.
I found these three books useful as I try to sort out what it means to be a Christian in America today and how to make sense of the unholy union of faith and nationalism. I don’t fully agree with everything these authors put forward in their books but they are chocked full worthwhile information and advice for those seeking a way back to a pure faith. I found a common thread in all three which is a call to return to the teachings and compassion of Jesus.
Peace, Love and Light
