An ordinary, radically fundamental follower of Christ

Hey folks out there in www land. I am currently ploughing (literally) through a book by a young man called Shane Claiborne called "The irresistable revolution" (ISBN-10 0-310-26630-0, or ISBN-13 978-0-310-26630-3; publisher Zondervan,or look on www.zondervan.com).

Not wishing to give you a synopsis, as you should read it yourselves, but it sure highlights a few things in our day-to-day lives as so called Christians, which may want to make you rethink your own self assessment of "are you really following God's calling?" But then on the other hand, why am I botthering with this blog? Well, first I was slightly PUSHed (as in Pray Until Something Happens) by Brian Huston of Hillsong Church last monday evening, and secondly just to give you a flavour of the book, let us use the above Title as a guide:

An = one of many, undetermined number
Ordinary = very common, nothing special, run of the mill
Radically = going back to the roots, assessing from the beginning, cutting out the shrubs and undergrowth to see the wood (so to speak)
Fundamental = what is the basis, the foundation, the initial starting point, the cause
Follower = comes after, copies what went before, immitator
Of = belonging to, linked with
Christ = Son of God, Messiah

'nuff said?

Well for now in any case...
