It kicked my butt and I have thought about it everyday since. Being the manager of a store that sells both your music and Anne & Skye’s books all within the walls of a church my heart is torn. </p> <p> Great post bro. </p> Shaun – Anne recommended this one to me just before you guys were at Mariners.

I wonder if there is a better way than writing and marketing the next book on consumerism to help change this Christian culture of consumerism.

I struggle with mixing who Jesus is up with all my cultural presuppositions. And I need to be reminded as well that Jesus’ way isn’t always the way I think it should be. Or the way our culture thinks it should be. </p> <p> Another good book under this same umbrella is “Consuming Jesus” by Paul Metzger. Very poignant. </p> Thanks for the insight.
