Mere Churchianity: Finding Your Way Back to Jesus Shaped Spiritualityby Michael Spencer
Mere Churchianity, the long-awaited book by the late Michael Spencer, our beloved Internet Monk, was released yesterday. I pre-ordered the book, and so my copy should arrive today or tomorrow. I encourage you to order your copy today. I hope to start a book club at my church in September. This will be the first book of the year.
“Michael Spencer was a self-described ‘post-evangelical’ Christian. He pointed out what already was obvious to many: that too often, churches practice ‘moralistic, culture-war religion.’ And sadly, their members are ‘church-shaped’ rather than Jesus-shaped. Almost prophetic in his railing against the prosperity gospel and efforts to turn God into a ‘convenient vending machine,’ Spencer’s book offers a timely and difficult reimagining of what living as a person of faith really means.” —Jennifer Grant, journalist, columnist for The Chicago Tribune
