I recommend unChristian as a great book that everyone should read. The book records 20 somethings' views of Christianity. Unfortunately we all know that Christians have not always represented Jesus very well and the research confirms it. I appreciated the research, but I especially liked the end of the book where respected leaders discussed how to positively contribute to culture. I found it interesting that almost every responder said Christianity must change the way it is responding to the major issues like Aids, poverty, injustice, etc. Our gospel has to be bigger than the individualistic version that is so common today.

How do you read so many books? Do you set aside time each day just for reading? I have about 4 books I've started and have yet to finish any of them....
i just listened to a matt chandler talk about this. he was saying how fundamentalism and modern evangelicalism came about as a response to liberalism. it has resulted in people with "big heads and no heart." i have to believe that our sovereign god is bigger than the current crisis in the evangelical church. but i am still motivated to live missionally and do everything that i can to reconcile what the secular world thinks of christianity.
