The Opinion Review

This book was written by a respected fundamentalist evangelical Christian. What is different about this one is that he seems to be swinging into another way of thinking. Which contradicts conservative Christianity and everything you may have learned if you been in church all your life. ( I have not)

I was raised in church but was given the freedom to not go as I became a teenager. I believe this was a good decision by my parents so that I could find God on my own…That’s what were supposed to do anyways right? Many church’s teach that you should “FORCE” your children to go to church until they go off to work or collage. Hmmmm? Dunno

Everything must change teaches that the church teachers may be wrong about the real message of why Jesus came. Perhaps he agrees with the saving of the soul stuff but that his real mission was also to change the way man thinks. Mainly… To love one another… Wow what a concept.

He ignores all the “end of the world” stuff and Jesus coming back in a fury of fireballs punishing all us sinners… Instead he teaches about a new way of thinking about God and his purpose to allow US to fix the mess we caused by each doing our part in changing the way we run this planet. Which of course is wrong…

Themes Like:

• Ending War
• Ending the Huge Gap between the rich and poor
• Loving our enemies
• Fixing the Environment.
• Helping those in Need.
• Ending our addiction to violence.

Are not all these things in the Bible? He lays out his case and suggestions for Christians to do these things… Of course many Christians disagree with his viewpoints. Go figure….
