Naked spirituality : a life with God in 12 simple words

Naked spirituality A life with God in 12 simple words

Brian D. McLaren, 1956-

Book - 2011

"Many people are stuck with an understanding of prayer that doesn't go beyond Sunday school memorizations and desperate petitions in time of need. Instead, Brian McLaren argues we should understand that prayer is to the soul what breathing is to the body; prayer is life-giving union with the Divine. McLaren offers new hope to those who are disillusioned by religious dogma and disheartened by unanswered prayers"--Provided by publisher.

Review by Library Journal Review

McLaren (A New Kind of Christianity: Ten Questions That Are Transforming the Faith), a leading evangelical author, here addresses America's ever-growing population of the unchurched-the many who consider themselves "spiritual, but not religious." McLaren is considered one of the foremost exponents of postmodern Christian theology, as well as of the "emerging church" movement; this work uses 12 words, such as "here," "now," "sorry," and "help," as the foundations of counsel, insight, and advice for the perhaps extra-ecclesial reader. -VERDICT McLaren's trademark persuasiveness is put to good effect as he continues to shatter paradigms for spiritual seekers.
