Irrestible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical

Value:  $15         Starting Bid:  $12
























Autographed copy of Shane Claiborne's book: The Irresistible Revolution

Donated by  Shane Claiborne, founder of The Simple Way in Kensington

During college, Shane heard one of his professors say:  “Being a Christian is about choosing Jesus and deciding to do something incredibly daring with your life.” Taking up that challenge, Shane’s faith led him to dress the wounds of lepers with Mother Teresa, visit families in Iraq amidst bombings, and dump $10,000 on Wall Street to redistribute wealth. In The Irresistible Revolution, you’ll be challenged by a radical Christianity passionate for peace, social justice, and alleviating the suffering found in the local neighborhood and distant reaches of the world. Live out your faith with little acts of radical love as you join the movement of God’s Spirit into a broken world.
