Not what I was looking for.

Any additional comments?

I was looking for a book on the science behind being male. I got the impression that the author of this book had no idea what he was talking about. I couldn't even finish it.

Title: How to Be Evangelical without Being Conservative

Author: Roger E. Olson

Narrator: Jeremy Johnson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-28-10

Publisher: Zondervan

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In recent years, the American media have portrayed the evangelical movement as a conservative force in society, equating it with fundamentalism. Many people equate evangelical Christianity with conservatism in religion, politics, theology, and social attitudes. But is this the whole story of evangelicalism?

Roger Olson sets forth evidence that the link between evangelicalism and conservatism has not always been as strong as it is today in the popular mind. Olson shows how contemporary evangelicals--who want to remain evangelical--can do so without identifying with conservatism in every way.

Finding the home I knew was there

Thought provoking and rewarding. Thank you for expressing so well a position many of us holding but until now could not articulate.

Timothy Ryder, a non-conservative evangelical who is a progressive both politically and socially

Olson's book gives unique answers

A couple years ago I had a conversation with a UM pastor who was expressing his frustration with "evangelical" churches. I listened for a while and agreed with him on much of what he had to say...but then reminded him that in our Book of Discipline, the UMC is referred to as an "Evangelical" Church. His concept of "evangelical" had become associated with the far right-wing; anti-woman; literalistic; conservative politically; version of what much of our media labels as "evangelical."

I began to wonder, myself, what is the "real definition" of "Evangelical" as understood by our Book of Discipline. I felt it was important that we "re-capture" that term for our denomination and it's original meaning...but didn't quite know how to do it.

While I was at the Jurisdictional CORR meeting...I discovered a book on the Cokesbury table entitled: "How to be Evangelical Without Being Conservative" by Roger E. Olson. I bought it...and just finished it. It was an amazingly helpful book in describing our roots as an Evangelical denomination while differentiating us from the far right-wing political agenda which is often associated with the word "evangelical."

It is an historical reminder of where the term "Evangelical" came from. It gives the historic 5 characteristics of our original "Evangelical" faith and explains in detail how that differs from what is often described as

"evangelical" in today's culture and media.

With chapter titles like: "Being Biblical without Orthodoxy"...it gives the original perspective of why Wesley could state that "orthodoxy has little to do with true religion of the heart". Other chapters are entitled "Celebrating America without Nationalism"..."Taking the Bible Seriously Without Literalism"..."Transforming Culture Without Domination"...."Updating Without Trivializing Worship"..."Accepting Without Affirming Flawed People"..."Practicing Equality Without Sacrificing Difference"...."Redistributing Wealth without Socialism" etc. And the conclusion entitled: "Toward a Postconservative Evangelicalism".

This book helped to identify, for me, the original meaning of "Evangelical" and re-define where we as United Methodists find our roots. Needless to say...it was very helpful.

Title: Unfashionable

Subtitle: Making a Difference in the World by Being Different

Author: Tullian Tchividjian

Narrator: Michael Koontz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 55 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-15-09

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Tullian's experience convinced him that young Christians today don't want a faith community that tries to come off as appealing and trendy. Christ followers are called to embrace a standard that's "out of this world." Why? Because the only way to make a difference in the world is by being different. To help his listeners re-imagine a radically "unfashionable" lifestyle, Tullian examines what Gospel-infused priorities would look like in relationships, community, work, finances and culture. Listeners will come away with a clear picture of what it means to live subversively - and redemptively - for God.

Just can't get to the end

I have had a real struggle staying with this book. For me, it's difficult to absorb the material, to stay focused and find the message. This may be my problem as I may not yet be ready for this particular topic of discussion, but I just cannot make it to the end. I've left the book on my player, downloaded and listened to several other books since making this purchase, come back to it after each of the others, but just cannot make it through.

Title: Feel

Subtitle: The Power of Listening to Your Heart

Author: Matthew Elliott

Narrator: Rob Lamont

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-23-09

Publisher: Oasis Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In Feel, Matthew Elliott takes a critical look at what our culture and many churches have taught about controlling and ignoring our emotions. He contends that some of the great thinkers of the modern era got it all wrong, and that the Bible teaches that God intends for us to live in and through our emotions. Emotions are good things that God created us to feel. Matthew helps us to understand our emotions and equips us to nurture healthy feelings and reject destructive ones. So refresh yourself, drink deeply, and learn to live with a new, passionate heart.

Feel is Faithful

[...]

Three weeks ago I walked into Borders, eager to spend my $50 gift card. First, I picked up a book on Switzerland (I recently discovered that I'm Swiss). Next, I grabbed a biography of Genghis Kahn (for some reason I find Genghis fascinating). By my calculations I had about 10 bucks left to spend, so I sauntered into the "Christian" isle to see if anything caught my eye and, something did, a book called Feel.

This book surprised me.

Not only did I think a lot, I also felt a lot while reading Matthew Elliott's Feel.

Apparently, several years ago this fella Matthew Elliott did doctoral research on the role of emotion in the New Testament (wish I had thought of that). That research turned into Elliott's book Faithful Feelings, a book that examines the felt experience of Christian living, how emotion was viewed by the New Testament writers in their cultural context. That book was published in 2006. I hope to read it. John Piper calls the book, "The most thorough study on emotions in the New Testament."

Published earlier this year, Feel seems to be a popularization/distillation/fleshing out of Elliott's earlier work. The book is aimed at two significant errors Elliott observes in American Christianity:

1. "we have made our relationship with God more about fulfilling our duty than expressing our passion. We make our spiritual lives into a list of dos and don'ts. We pursue this list more than we actually pursue Jesus. And this leads to a life that eventually becomes tired and numb, devoid of feeling, dead."

2. "we have become indoctrinated in the belief that emotions are unreliable, dangerous, and bad."

From his study of Scripture, Elliott's book builds upon several key ideas:

* "our emotions were given to us by God to drive us to our best"

* "emotions are among the most logical and dependable things in our lives"

* "emotions give us a window to see truth like nothing else"

* "the true health of our spiritual lives is measured by how we feel"

If some of those statements trouble you, note that Elliott's writing reads like a modern day Religious Affections--Jonathan Edwards' 1746 classic which examines the centrality of emotions in Scripture and in the Christian life. Elliott is careful to ground his ideas, proposals, and conclusions in Scripture.

I really like this book. It affected me. It convicted me. It helped me. I'm celebrating God's providence, how he led me to peek into the "Christian" isle at Borders and spot Feel. Reading Feel has come with perfect timing. The thesis and thrust of the book hit a sanctification bullseye in me.
