Review
"...An essential life lesson about loving our neighbors and tolerating their differences...For Christians on the fence about whether to accept others and their faiths or to insist that only Christianity can adequately serve, this book provides important insights."―Booklist Online
"...Worth reading, lively and passionate at translating progressive theology into a popular idiom."―Publishers Weekly
"...Important and extraordinarily timely...a soothing balm for the searing pain of our times..."―Huffington Post
"Provocative...Even those who don't agree will be bettered by engaging its ideas."―Relevant Magazine
"This is a major work in every sense of the word--so major, in fact, that it would be impossible to exaggerate either its importance or its worth to the current conversation about religion and religions."―Phyllis Tickle, Lecturer on Religion in America and Author of Emergence Christianity: What it Is, Where it is Going, and Why it Matters
"Helpful, timely, and really, really inspiring."―Rob Bell, author of Love Wins
"This is a book to cherish, to read over and over, a book that sheds light and warmth on one of the most difficult questions of our era."―Eboo Patel, Founder and President, Interfaith Youth Core, Author of Acts of Faith and Sacred Ground
"McLaren offers a renewed and renewing vision of Christianity that will challenge every reader to go deeper into its core Truth and find radical urgency to befriend all God's children. If you are not afraid of having your viewpoint, identity, and complacency challenged - read this, for Love itself is to be found here!"―Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop, The Episcopal Church
"With wisdom and wit, Brian McLaren courageously explores the contours of his Christian faith in light of his experiences with people from other religious communities. His questions and insights are important contributions to the unfolding interfaith discussion in the United States and beyond."―Rabbi Or N. Rose, Director, The Center for Global Judaism, Hebrew College

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Christians and Muslims together make up about 57% of the world's population today, and by the end of the century they will constitute about 66% of the world's population. More than any other single factor, the wellbeing of our children and grandchildren may depend on how well Christians learn to relate to Muslims - and Hindus, the next largest faith, not to mention Buddhists, Jews, people of indigenous faiths, and the nonreligious. We know how to have a strong Christian identity that is intolerant of or belligerent towards other faiths, and we know how to have a weak Christian identity that is tolerant and benevolent. But is there a third alternative? How do we discover, live, teach, and practise a Christian identity that is both strong and benevolent towards other faiths?In this provocative and inspiring book, author Brian McLaren tackles some of the hardest questions around the issue of interfaith relations, and shares a hopeful vision of the reconciliation that Jesus offers to our multi-faith world.
