In my book review section you will notice that I am now reading A New Kind of Christian: A Tale of Two Friends on a Spiritual Journey. Unlike many books I read, I can’t just plow through this one. It has much food for thought.

The section I just finished read: “He [Neo, one of the characters] said that if the new kind of Christianity we had been dreaming about wasn’t radically generous, it was a waste of time. I responded by saying that it seemed like an overstatement to me, but he was adamant: ‘We live in the most affluent culture in the most affluent period of human history. If we can’t discipline ourselves to learn the joys of generous living, I think we’re an embarrassment to the gospel.’” (Just previously in the story the pastor character had learned that Neo lived on 75% of his income, saved 5%, and gave away 25%.)
